Saturday Night Buhl Sport Detroit entertained 200 in the Official Racing For Kids 30th Anniversary Party at The Factory in Corktown. At that event, Racing For Kids presented Children’s Hospital of Michigan Foundation with a $25,000 check to, in part, pay for portable pediatric cardiac monitoring units. These units will enable young heart patients to go home earlier after their procedures.
