YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The United Dairy Industry of Michigan (UDIM) partnered with the Eastern Michigan University Department of Athletics to support the on-campus Swoop's Student Food Pantry. For every free throw made at a home game throughout EMU's 2016-17 basketball season, Michigan's dairy farmers donated funds that will be used to help EMU students have protein and calcium to help them stay strong during the semester.
In total, 455 free throws were made and UDIM donated $1,000 to Swoop's Student Food Pantry. There were a combined 30 EMU men's and women's basketball home games this season at the EMU Convocation Center.
