DETROIT, MI — Rapper Big Sean and players from the Detroit Pistons, Detroit Red Wings, Detroit Tiers and Detroit Lions will be partnering with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Southeastern Michigan to host a virtual club takeover and fundraiser Thursday.

The fundraiser portion of the event, which will be held virtually with location information available upon registration, aims to raise $100,000 to provide services for Club Youth.

"As we await further notice on Michigan’s 'Stay home' mandate, parents may be asked to return to work in as soon as a few short weeks," the Boys and Girls Clubs said in a news release.
