YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) -
On Sunday, Jan. 14, the Eastern Michigan Department of Athletics, with the volunteer efforts of more than 70 EMU student-athletes, held the fourth annual Student-Athlete Thank-A-Thon. Eagle student-athletes volunteered their time to make over 700 personal thank you calls to 2017 calendar year donors.

"Thanking our donors and teaching student-athletes a culture of gratefulness will benefit and strengthen bonds across those connected with Eastern Michigan." said Vice President and Director of Athletics Scott Wetherbee. "This is a great and growing tradition."

"The Thank-A-Thon is such a great day for EMU Athletics," added Senior Associate Athletic Director for Development Dan McLean. "For our student-athletes to connect with our donors and show genuine appreciation for their support is just awesome."

EMU Athletics would also like to acknowledge and thank corporate partner, Qdoba Mexican Eats, for providing meals for the day.
