YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – Rain could not keep the Eastern Michigan University football team from hosting its fourth annual EMU Victory Day, Thursday, May 25, as the Eagles hosted more than 140 cognitively and physically impaired children. Student-athletes, as well as the coaching staff, took part in an exciting event of football related activities inside EMU's Indoor Practice Facility.

The day began as kids walked into the facility through a tunnel consisting of EMU football players and the cheer team. Following the national anthem, EMU Head Football Coach Chris Creighton joined participants for a welcome speech and a ceremonial coin toss to officially begin the football activities.
