If someone had told Larry Burns when he started his job he’d be spending this past Saturday in front of 700 people at the Motor City Casino Sound Board along with Detroit Red Wings announcers Ken Daniels and Mickey Redmond and other celebrities to raise money for awareness about drug addiction and mental illness, he wouldn’t have believed it.
Burns, president and CEO of The Children’s Foundation since 2017, has been on a crusade, crisscrossing the state signing up businesses, hospitals, colleges and other nonprofits, including the Jamie Daniels Foundation, as they become partners.
