My appreciation for the Beam Family of Brighton, Mich
I am sure this has been mentioned briefly in threads about the Spring Game, but this is worth mentioning again. Many of us have children or know children who have spent time at Mott Children's Hospital and understand what a miracle that place is. As the spring game approaches I want to remind those planning on attending to bring what you can to donate. The football team should be commended for their consistant work with Mott and for their efforts in fundraising, and we as supporters should be doing our part. I also want us to realize that the Beam family will once again be matching all funds raised dollar for dollar. They, and all other donors who help to support the hospital, should be lauded for their efforts. I don't have the money that they do, but I am going on the 16th, and plan on donating what I can. Hopefully you guys will too.
It is amazing what a family like this can do. I know that I plan on going to the spring game and will be donating what I can. Thanks UMdad for posting this to remind everyone to do what they can.
I wish I could give 1,000 up votes for this thread
I'm pretty out of the loop about Spring Game stuff when it comes to attending, given that there's no way I can go. I hadn't realized that someone is matching the donations raised, that really absolutely incredible. I'm glad you posted something, because otherwise I wouldn't have know. So thank you.
I don't remember the exact figures but I think it was around 300,000 dollars last year. That not only speaks well of the Beam family, but of the fans who attended.

Looks like the Beam family of Brighton is matching all donations made at the gates at this years spring game for the 3rd year in a row! Lets raise some money for children at Mott Children's Hospital!
Thank you to all the players, coaches, staff, volunteers, and everyone one involved in making this event such a success!
of the Beam family. Rich is a close second.
It still bugs me that 95% of the news in this world is about bad stuff when you have amazing people like the Beam family that change the world for people every year. I wish there were more people like this family and more people reporting it!
