Participate in the Michigan County & U.S. Giving Challenges!

For #cmu132, CMU alumni and friends from every Michigan county and U.S. state can make a big impact. If even just one person from each of Michigan's 83 counties gives, a gift for the CMU Student Food Pantry gets unlocked. For those outside of Michigan, we had at least one person from every U.S. state give, unlocking a gift for the Finish Up Chips Scholarship.

Thank you for turning the U.S. maroon! Contribute a donation of any amount to participate and watch our progress for Michigan here or the U.S. below.
