ROGERS PARK — If ever there's been a reason to try singing your favorite song in front of your friends and community, Sunday's fundraising event at R Public House just may be it.

From 3-7 p.m., the 1508 W. Jarvis Ave. pub and eatery will be raising money for the Flint Child's Health and Development Fund — an account set up by the Community Foundation of Greater Flint to offer long-term assistance for Flint and other Michigan families who have been affected by the "poisoned" drinking supply, the event page reads.

Bingo and karaoke will be accompanied with other games and prizes, as well as drink, shot, food and snack specials.
