More than 9,500 bottles of water collected by the Central Michigan Athletics Department in January have not yet been delivered to Flint.
Women's basketball junior guard Jasmine Harris, a Farmington Hills native, announced the initiative on Jan. 23 after the team's home game against Akron, asking the community to bring bottled water to the team's next home game on Jan. 30.
The men's basketball team and members of the community joined the cause, raising a total of 9,591 bottles of water to aid Flint residents affected by the city's water crisis.
More than a month later, the bottles remain "in storage" according to Associate Athletic Director for Marketing and Ticketing Mike Dabbs.
