Michigan football, ChadTough deliver $211K check for pediatric brain research

ANN ARBOR -- Members of the University of Michigan football team turned the Outback Bowl into a six-figure donation for charity.

This week, they got to see the money change hands in person.

Defensive end Chase Winovich, offensive tackle Grant Newsome and defensive coordinator Don Brown were in attendance Thursday as the ChadTough Foundation presented a check for $211,246 to doctors at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital.

Pediatric oncologist Dr. Carl Koschmann and pathologist Dr. Sriram Venneti accepted the donation on behalf of Michigan Medicine's Pediatric Brian Tumor Research Initiative.

Winovich launched the fundraiser in conjunction with ChadTough in December, vowing to dye his hair orange for the Outback Bowl if $15,000 was raised.
