Overview
In conjunction with 313 Presents, the University of Michigan basketball team announced a charity exhibition game against Oakland University to benefit Forgotten Harvest at Little Caesars Arena on Sunday, October 20 at 5 p.m. The charity exhibition will be available on BTN Plus.
Forgotten Harvest is a non-profit food insecurity organization whose vision is to work with communities to end hunger and create individual, neighborhood, economic, and environmental health. Food insecurity is one’s inability to obtain sufficient food for their household’s needs.
Metro Detroit’s largest food rescue operation, Forgotten Harvest rescues surplus food produced, or ordered, in amounts greater than what can be sold from over 560 food donors and delivers it for free to over 220 community agency partners. Last fiscal year (2022-23) Forgotten Harvest distributed over 40 million pounds of food, or 33 million meals.
The exhibition not only marks the debut of U-M’s new head coach Dusty May, while Oakland’s legendary head coach Greg Kampe begins his 41st campaign with the Golden Grizzlies.
