MOUNT PLEASANT - With Central Michigan University's spring semester winding down, members of the football program made time to assist with a pair of community service initiatives over the weekend.
On Friday, members of the program visited both Sacred Heart Academy and Fancher Elementary School in Mount Pleasant as part of the Recess with the Chippewas program. CMU's players make weekly visits to area elementary schools throughout the school year, spending time playing games with children during recess and visiting classrooms to read books to students.
On Saturday, several Chippewas volunteered their time at the 51st annual Shepherd Maple Syrup Festival. The players helped serve meals, pour drinks and clean tables during the festival, which helps provide funds for a 10-week summer recreation program for children in the school district and maintenance of a community park.
The Central C.A.R.E. program helps coordinate all Recess with the Chippewas visits and other community service initiatives for CMU's student-athletes. For more information on the Central C.A.R.E. program, contact Mike Dabbs at 989-774-2472 or dabbs1mp@cmich.edu.
