MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A young Minnesotan's mission to help others is expanding.

We first told you about Kamryn's friendship bracelets earlier this month.

The daughter of former Gopher Football player Ron Johnson got together with a few friends in Chanhassen to make and sell them to help those affected by the destructive riots in Minneapolis.

So far, they've raised more than $70,000 and hope to sell more at pop-up shops.

Their next event is on June 18, from 1 to 6 p.m. at 12th Avenue North 55447, near Gleason Lake in Plymouth.

For more information, check out their Facebook page.

"Kamryn & Friends Bracelets for Unity and Justice" also has a GoFundMe page if you wish to donate.
