A fundraiser for tornado victims in Cameron, Illinois raised over $8,000 on Saturday.
Concessions, baked goods, and a raffle helped raise the funds, along with several generous donations.
The band Even Steven played at the event.
Many of the volunteers at Saturday's fundraiser were there from other towns.
"It’s just awesome what people are doing. People are giving $50 here, $20 dollars there, it’s just awesome what people are doing," said DeWayne Sperlin, who put on the fundraiser and owns Big House Pizza in Galesburg. "It’s tough, some of the people didn’t have insurance, some people lost their house, it’s just tough for these guys."
