EAST LANSING, Mich. -
For the fourth consecutive year, 23 of Michigan State's varsity athletic programs participated in the Teams for Toys program, which helped raise money and donate gifts to families in the Lansing area. Each respective team raised money for an underprivledged family, went out in the community and bought gifts, then came together at the Clara Bell Smith Academic Center on Sunday, Dec. 10 to wrap presents and then deliver them to the families. The teams collected over $4,000 for the cause.
"This is our fourth straight year participating in the Teams For Toys program, and we had another great turnout from the MSU student-athletes," Director of CHAMPS/Life Skills Program for Student-Athlete Support Services Associate Director Angela Howard said. "This is a great cause that makes the holiday season that much brighter for families in the Lansing area."
In all, 20 families and 50 children received presents as a result of the Spartan contribution for the Teams For Toys program.
