As the most prominent universities in the Mitten, Michigan and Michigan State have been going at each other in sports for decades. When the Spartans visit Ann Arbor on Oct. 26, it will be about more than football.
Along with BB90 and Spartan Illustrated, Rivals for a Cause has launched a fundraiser for the University of Michigan Health C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital. $1 from every purchase of Hail IPA and Sparta IPA at the Pretzel Bell in Ann Arbor and Jolly Pumpkin in East Lansing will go towards the fund. For those unable to make it or not of legal drinking age, there is a way to directly donate on the website.
Additionally, on Oct. 25, Blue by Ninety and Spartan Illustrated will host a live podcast at the Pretzel Bell followed by U-M/MSU trivia and a live DJ.
Locations:
Pretzel Bell – 226 S Main St, Ann Arbor, MI
Jolly Pumpkin – 218 Albert St, East Lansing, MI
About Rivals for a Cause
Rivals for a Cause takes the time-honored traditions of rivalries and turns them into funds for one local charity. We want to emphasize the outcome of the competition where the charity emerges victoriously no matter who you root for on game day. Rivals for a Cause will compete… Together!
No matter if you sport Green and White or Maize and Blue on game day, October 26th, we all share the same goal- to fight together for those in need. This year, Rivals for a Cause is benefitting the U-M C.S. Mott’s Children’s Hospital. Our goal is to support the Mott’s mission of helping to fight cancer through innovation & collaboration. Your gift enables the children’s hospital to direct resources where they are most needed or where opportunities are greatest, from upgrading or replacing a critical piece of medical equipment to providing important resources to researchers & clinicians.
