Junior guard Jasmine Harris and the Central Michigan women’s basketball team made a pledge to the Mount Pleasant community last weekend, urging them to help with the Flint water crisis.
This weekend, the community responded by donating 7,248 bottles of water during CMU’s game against Miami (Ohio), which the Chippewas won 77-54.
“It feels really good,” Harris said. “It’s the best feeling knowing that we’re really going to help people and I’m so happy with the community support and the way everybody responded. It’s amazing and I’m so thankful for that.”
This is not the first time the Chippewas contributions have gone beyond basketball.
