TAMPA — With three family-friendly events scheduled in the next week, people who want to donate to the grieving family of slain Tampa police Cpl. Mike Roberts have more options than heading to a local credit union.

From radio-controlled car racing to a professional hockey scrimmage to a barbecue, there are lots of choices.

Friday night, families can head over to Ronnie Setser Customs, 7321/2 N Dale Mabry Highway, where they'll be racing radio-controlled cars to raise money for Roberts' family.

Roberts was shot to death Aug. 19 while checking on a suspicious person. He leaves a 3-year-old son and a wife.
