SPRING GAME RAISES OVER $2,000 FOR AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY

UNIVERSITY CENTER, Mich. – The third annual Cardinal/American Cancer Society Spring Football game on Saturday proved to be a big success both on and off the field. The Saginaw Valley State football squad braved the elements and did so for a great cause as they helped raise $2,140 for the American Cancer Society. The money was raised in numerous ways as the team did not have any paid admission for the game, but instead had donations taken for the American Cancer Society. In addition, after the game the team had a luncheon inside the Ryder Center where further donations and the selling of SVSU football merchandise helped raise funds. The total amount has grown every year and this year the amount raised nearly doubled the first two years.
     "This organization needs everyone's assistance as people fight this horrible disease," said head coach Randy Awrey. "SVSU and our football players are committed to providing our time and money to our community and this partnership each year is very special."
