YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University football team is set to host its third annual EMU Victory Day this week. The event is set up to provide cognitively and physically impaired children the chance to partake in a slew of football related activities at "The Factory" at Rynearson Stadium, May 26, at 11 a.m. Student-athletes as well as the coaching staff will take part in the event.
The day will begin with kids walking on the field through a tunnel consisting of EMU football players and the cheer team. Making their way to midfield, the kids' names are announced one-by-one with their picture and bio information flashing on the scoreboard as if they were part of the starting lineup on an EMU football gameday.
