MUNCIE, Ind. - Ball State Football alumni are displaying the True Cardinal mentality by rallying around former Ball State standout, Kevin "K.J." Kinnee, who is taking on the ferocious disease, ALS. That mentality is playing out in the form of a new 501 (c) (3) which aims to support former teammates with medical expenses along with their mental and physical health.

This new entity, Gridiron Brotherhood, will kick off their fundraising with a long-distance run by Kevin's Ball State teammate, Dave Curtin, who will run 180 miles from Northwest Indiana to Scheumann Stadium to raise awareness and dollars.
