CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – (CLARKSVILLENOW) Family and friends came together Saturday at the Pinnacle Family Entertainment Center or a special party for Colton Richards who not only was celebrating his sixteenth birthday but the event was also a fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Richards also talked about his Colton’s Corner Foundation to help children and teens which he said was recently started by his mother, Karen. “Kids with special needs need to have access to handicapped playgrounds here, across America and across the globe,” said Richards.
