Student-Athletes Sponsor Holiday Food Drive
Oct. 29, 2001
MOUNT PLEASANT -- Student-athletes representing all Central Michigan University athletic teams will sponsor the 2001 Holiday Food Drive on Halloween night, Wednesday, October 31. Student-athletes will be afoot in the Mount Pleasant community collecting canned and dry goods for the Isabella County Red Cross from 6:30 p.m., to 8:30 p.m., that evening. Instead of collecting candy, the student-athletes will be trick-or-treating for food!
The student-athletes will initially meet in the IAC Turf Bay on the CMU campus, and then be dispersed around the city. They will return to the Turf Bay between approximately 7:30 and 8:30 PM to unload their collections.
Last year's Holiday Food Drive was a huge success. Over 200 student-athletes collected over 5,400 food items to assist those in need in the area. With the community's support, we hope we can collect 6,000 items this year!
On Halloween night from 6:30 to 8:30 PM, CMU student-athletes will gently tap on your door and say "Trick-or-treat". When the student-athletes greet you holding out their hands, simply go to your kitchen and fetch them some cans!
