With barbecue season underway, fundraising events will soon begin to ramp up in the area.

On Tuesday, Diamonds of Detroit held a barbecue in support of the Nina Schidlowsky Memorial Scholarship Fund, raising over $1,200.

Diamonds of Detroit Owner Olivia Coffyne says that they enjoy to help out in any way they can.

"We felt like it was a good opportunity to give back to a local scholarship fund in memorial, so it's just a nice way to give back."

Coffyne noted that it was their second year of putting on a fundraising barbecue.
