Event Highlight: MCSP Soccer Tournament

WILL WORK FOR FOOD reps and participants continue to organize unique and creative opportunities to get students on campus involved in the WWFF initiative. On Saturday, March 13, the Michigan Community Scholars Program (MCSP) held their first annual soccer tournament to benefit WILL WORK FOR FOOD. MCSP is a group of UofM students who are dedicated to community service, diversity, and social justice. 15 teams of students and athletes came out to play in the 4v4 soccer tournament. Each team paid a $20 entry fee and brought canned goods to donate to local food banks. With the combination of entry fees and individual donations from players and spectators, the event raised a total of $350 for WILL WORK FOR FOOD. "The tournament was awesome!" said event coordinator Emily Knowles. "Everyone really enjoyed it and expressed that they hope we'll have another one next year. The cooperation between WILL WORK FOR FOOD and MCSP was great because it brought together two great organizations who care about their fellow human beings in the world."

Thanks to MSCP for coordinating such a successful event and to all the players who came out to support WILL WORK FOR FOOD!
