friday,
October 25th
On Friday, October 25th, we’ll come together and celebrate the tradition of rivals. Join us for Rivals for a Cause at Pretzel Bell for delicious food, cold beer and tailgating fun with our friends Blue By Ninety and Spartan Illustrated. Can’t stop in? Donate online to show your spirit. On this day as we sport either Green and White or Maize and Blue we’ll celebrate what we are able to accomplish together.
No matter if you sport Green and White or Maize and Blue on game day, we all share the same goal- to fight together for those in need. Your gift enables the cancer center 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.
We compete
together…
Why rivals
By definition, a rivalry is a competition for the same objective or for superiority in the same field. No matter if you sport Green and White or Maize and Blue on game day, for this particular game day, we all share the same goal– to fight together for those in need.
our mission
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!
our history
Competition brings out the absolute best in people. Rivals for a Cause started at a University of Michigan vs. Michigan State University football game tailgate. Long-time friends and alumni for both universities wanted to raise money for a former teammates’ son battling brain cancer. Rivals for a Cause was born out of the spirit of “who” could raise more. Rivals for a Cause started on this day and has turned into an annual event with a new cause chosen each year.
