ISHPEMING -- As the Ishpeming community continues to grieve over the loss of Christopher Croley, Martin Sports Apparel is helping to raise money for the family.

Croley was killed in a crash last Friday night in Middle Inlet, Wisconsin when a drunk driver collided head on with the vehicle he was traveling in.

Funeral services for Croley are planned for Friday, and the family has asked that those in attendance dress casual.

"It's a real close knit community so when a tragedy like this happens we all feel it, and everybody's looking for a way to heal and to show their support and we're fortunate to be able to provide that outlet for them," said Martin Sports Apparel owner Scott Martin. "It's a way for the community to heal and it's a way to show your support for the family all at once."

The shirts are $15 with $10 per shirt going to the family. The shirts will be available for pick up Thursday, between 4 and 8 p.m. To place your order you can stop in to Martin Sports Apparel in Ishpeming or check out their Facebook page here.
