窪蹋勛圖厙 Foundation to sponsor basketball games for Family/Alumni Day

泭
If youve yet to catch the 窪蹋勛圖厙 Centurion basketball teams this season, the final Saturday home games of the season are the perfect chance.泭
The Centurions will host North Central Michigan on Saturday, Feb. 1, during the Family/Alumni Day games. This event is sponsored by the 窪蹋勛圖厙 Foundation and will include free admission for all patrons attending the womens and mens games.泭
Since it was established in 1981, the 窪蹋勛圖厙 Foundation has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to support the college in its mission of transforming lives through quality education. The 窪蹋勛圖厙 Foundation has more than $400,000 in scholarships and aid available annually to assist students in achieving their educational goals.泭
As the athletic department was starting its event planning for the upcoming season, Lisa Lund, Executive Director for the 窪蹋勛圖厙 Foundation, said it made sense for the Foundation to be involved.泭
When athletics was in the idea stage, the Foundation provided seed funding, Lund said. As game sponsorships were developed, the 窪蹋勛圖厙F sponsoring games seemed to be a great way to engage with our alumni and make people aware of the Foundation.泭
With no charge of admission for the game, it provides area families with some free weekend entertainment while also supporting the communitys lone college basketball teams.泭
I feel it is a great opportunity to welcome people onto campus and have them enjoy one of the many great things 窪蹋勛圖厙 has to offer, Lund added.泭
Alumni of 窪蹋勛圖厙 will also have an opportunity to score some free giveaway items by visiting the 窪蹋勛圖厙 Foundation table at the basketball games. Lund is excited to meet some Centurions of the past at the event.泭
Id love to know more about where an 窪蹋勛圖厙 experience has taken them and, in turn, share the great things the Foundation is doing now for students, the college and our community.泭
The womens basketball team will start the day against North Central Michigan at 1 p.m., followed by the mens game with an estimated tip off time of 3 p.m.泭
