The family of Brian Sullivan, the Chili teenager who had gone missing back in 2007, held a poker run to raise awareness of his disappearance, and the dissaperance of others.

The goal of Saturday's event was to raise enough funds to send a local police officer to a 3-day missing persons conference in Wisconson where they will gain additional knowledge on how to handle missing persons cases.

"There are several education programs out there, unfortunately it boils down to a lack of funding. So we wanted to break that barrier and send them to the training they deserve to be able to assist us all," says Katie Towner, Brian Sullivan's Cousin.

Other families who have missing relatives were also at the event, which was held at the Gates Pub.
