Chippewa Champions Event – In developing a single united entity with Chippewa Champions, we wanted to have an event that recognizes ALL of our members no matter which sport they support. This event will likely occur in conjunction with Homecoming – a time of year when many people return to campus. Homecoming is bigger than just a football game and this event is bigger than any single program. Men's Basketball Event – A spirit of togetherness between our programs and their closest friends is what lies at the heart of Chippewa Champions. At least one in-season and one out-of-season event will be held to celebrate and recognize the Men's Basketball Chippewa Champions – the people who help make success possible. Information regarding time and place will be placed on this page, or you may contact the Chippewa Athletic Fund liaison listed below. Event #1: Season Tip off - We would like to invite our Chippewa Champions to take part in our final preparation for the season. Please join us on Thursday, November 1 beginning at 6:00PM at O'Kelly's for the Front Row Seat radio show. Reserved seating and appetizers will be provided. Champions and their guests will then have the opportunity to watch a scrimmage and visit with the players and coaching staff. Following the scrimmage, Coach Davis will preview the season and your Chippewa Champions gear will be distributed. Event #2: Alumni Day - One of the highlights of the season is when we have the opportunity to play in front of former Chippewas and the best friends of CMU Basketball on Alumni day. This year's game will be on January 26 against archrival Western Michigan. We would like to invite our Chippewa Champions to take part in our celebration of the history of CMU basketball. You will be able to relax and enjoy the game from the Upper Club Lounge of McGurik Arena while interacting with some great former Chippewas and cheering on the current Chippewas as they work to crush the Broncos. Event #3: Champions Day - On February 16 we would like to honor your above and beyond support of our program by hosting Champions Day. Please join us in McGuirk Arena when we take on Toledo. Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to this event.

Our former Chippewa student-athletes are among the greatest resources for current athletes. You are a link to our tradition of greatness and your achievements beyond Mount Pleasant extend our reach by bringing notoriety and prestige to our programs. CMU Athletics has success today, in large part, because of our special alumni. Chippewa Champions presents a unique opportunity for our programs and letterwinners to re-connect. It allows our former letterwinners to remain a part of the inner circle of CMU Athletics and to contribute financially to the success of current and future student-athletes. In becoming a Chippewa Champion, our former athletes ensure that their positive impact on the program didn't end after their final competitive performance.
