As a part of the Mid-American Conference push to create a community-based program at each MAC campus, Mount Pleasant Public Schools will receive $5,000 to benefit sixth-grade education.
The MAC announced it is partnering with the College Football Playoff Foundation to provide $60,000 for elementary and/or secondary schools. The funding, provided by the partnership with CFP, will be for the 2017-18 academic year.
Not only will Mount Pleasant Public Schools receive $5,000 to improve programs, but sixth-grade students will be invited to the football game against Eastern Michigan in Kelly/Shorts Stadium on Nov. 8.
According to the MAC website, the funding will allow Mount Pleasant Public Schools to purchase more supplies and continue education programs with Central Michigan University.
