Hosting a clothing drive and participating in the United Way’s Annual Adopt-a-Family Program are ways that student-athletes at Central Michigan University are reaching out to the local community this holiday season. The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, working alongside the Mary Ellen Brandell Volunteer Center of CMU, served as a host to the United Way’s Annual Adopt-a-Family program this year. “Mount Pleasant is our student-athletes’ home away from home, and learning the value of service and giving back to the community while being in college is a valuable resource for our student-athletes who will be contributing members of society when they graduate from CMU,” said Daniel Heck, coordinator of marketing and community relations for the Central Michigan Athletics Department. Committee members collected money from their teammates. Every team worked hard to raise an approximate total of $700 for 26 individuals who are members of six selected families in need.
