YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University athletic department is proud to give back to the community. On May 21, student-athletes from the EMU football, softball, men's basketball and women's basketball teams joined forces with more than 500 volunteers for the 17th Annual Ypsilanti P.R.I.D.E. Day
Ypsilanti P.R.I.D.E. Day is a community-wide event intended to foster community pride and encourage local business growth by creating a clean and welcoming environment. It began as a class project by the 1995 graduating class of Leadership Ypsilanti; an experiential learning program sponsored by the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti Regional Chamber, and is now sponsored by the A2Y Chamber Foundation.
Volunteers helped pick up litter, paint, plant flowers and otherwise spruce up the Ypsilanti community. Once the work was done, volunteers were rewarded with lunch and entertainment at a celebration in Prospect Park.
