The Cambodian Buddhist temple in southeast Rochester will have a ceremony from 10 a.m. to noon Sunday to honor people who died in a recent stampede in Cambodia.

The stampede, which happened during an annual water festival, reportedly killed 300 people and injured hundreds more. An elder monk at the Rochester temple has a nephew who died in the stampede, said temple member Tracy Sam.

Donations gathered at the event will be sent to Cambodia to help pay for medical care for people who were injured.

The temple is at 4462 29th St. S.E.
