Michigan’s spring game on April 14 at Michigan Stadium is free to the public, but the program hopes to use the game and related events as a fund-raiser for Mott Children’s Hospital.
The gates open at 9 a.m. that day, and the alumni flag football game begins at 10 a.m. The current team will be on the field for warm-ups at 11:20 a.m., and the final practice – “game” – begins at noon.
Fans can make a donation to the Mott Hospital upon entering the Michigan Stadium gates. There are incentives for various donation levels, and all donations will be matched by the Beam Family of Brighton. And the incentives are:
$5 — Magnet replica of the C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital Spring Game patch worn by U-M players.
$10 – ‘This is Michigan’ rally towel and spring game magnet.
$15 – ‘I Wore 21′ book about U-M Heisman Trophy winner Desmond Howard.
$20 – ‘Hail to the Little Victors’ baseball cap.
$250 – Four passes to a preseason football practice (final date to be determined).
$500 – Michigan football helmet signed by coach Brady Hoke (limited quantity) and four passes to a preseason football practice.
