President Mark B. Rosenberg is in Detroit for the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl on Sunday, Dec. 26. The president is sharing commentary and photos from his trip, so be sure to check out his blog on this whirlwind trip. Below is the president’s latest entry. His first two entries were Dec. 23 and Dec. 24.
Your FIU team was up bright and early this morning to give cheer to the less fortunate. Under the auspices of the Little Ceasars Pizza Bowl leadership, delegations from both FIU and Toledo served breakfast to the less fortunate at a Salvation Army shelter. FIU coaches, players and staff had the opportunity to spread a little cheer to nearly 300 people in a happily decorated auditorium also staff by volunteers from the Detroit business community.
Upon arrival at the shelter, the FIU bus was blocked from parking by a white station wagon complete with Christmas lights and a “Santa 1” license plate-and a painted sign on the back window advertising “Santa Services.”
Players from both Toledo and FIU carefully mingled to distribute trays of food, before departing to head to their respective practices. Our experience with the needy this morning made all of us realize just how blessed we are and just how special our university community really is!
