YOUTH CLINIC INFORMATION (SPONSORED BY SPARROW HEALTH SYSTEM):
Prior to the spring game, MSU’s coaching staff and players will conduct a free youth football clinic, sponsored by Sparrow Health System. Children, ages 8-12, are invited to attend the youth clinic (no registration required) from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Gates to the John and Becky Duffey Practice Fields, located off of Shaw Lane, will open at 10:30 a.m.

Clinic participants will be assigned by age to a practice field to rotate through all drills (Duffy Daugherty Football Building indoor facility and John and Becky Duffey Football Practice Fields). The purpose of the clinic is to introduce youngsters to the game by stressing fundamentals. No football gear is required. In addition, clinic participants will receive a free Spartan football poster and a coupon for a complimentary hot dog and soft drink to be redeemed at a concession stand in Spartan Stadium during the spring game.

HELP TACKLE HUNGER FOOD DRIVE (SPONSORED BY FARM BUREAU INSURANCE):
The 12th-annual Help Tackle Hunger Food Drive to support the MSU Student Food Bank will take place at the spring game.

This year, in partnership with Michigan State Athletics and Residential & Hospitality Services, Farm Bureau Insurance of Michigan is supporting the efforts with food collection at the entrances of Spartan Stadium during the game. Statewide agents will be on-site to collect nonperishable food donations to distribute to the MSU Student Food Bank. Fans will receive a Spartan rally towel with each donation.

Fans attending the spring game can also make monetary donations at concession stands throughout Spartan Stadium. In addition, a portion of the proceeds from the 50/50 raffle will be donated to the MSU Food Bank.

The MSU Student Food Bank is a critical line of defense for students and student families experiencing food insecurity. Facing a limited availability of food can have a negative impact on students’ academic success.
