“With
the negative publicity surrounding the City of Detroit as a “bankrupt
City”, through this event, we have seen the exact opposite represented
for Detroit. There is unlimited wealth and prosperity that exists in
the hearts and spirits of Detroiter’s who roll up their sleeves and give
back to their neighbors who need the most help. That is what the
Detroit Red Carpet Backyard BBQ is all about. It embodies the spirit of
Detroit,” said Robert Shumake, Chair of the Shumake Family Friends
Foundation and Event Founder.
