The Cal Football Fan Appreciation Day registration drive this past Saturday was a huge success! Big thank you’s go out to the entire Cal Athletic Department, especially the Game Day Experience crew, the Media Relations team, and of course Coach Tedford and the football players.
We registered 191 potential donors, and we couldn’t have done this without AADP and all the Project Michelle volunteers that came out to recruit more donors.
Michelle was able to meet Coach Tedford and many players, who were all very eager to help. After registering, one player said “make sure you call me. I really want to donate.” This enthusiasm was infectious as many fans walked over to learn more and register after seeing the players’ support of Project Michelle. Here are some pictures from the drive (with more to come later).
Here are a few articles about the drive:

Thank you everyone. Go Bears!

Michelle, I am so glad that you have found such support in your local community. Many places, such as where I am at the moment, no such thing would ever happen.
