Partner with Us Night
Cornerstone women's volleyball has been hosting a yearly partner night where they fundraise specific items for specific organizations. This year, Cornerstone will be fundraising for Hands2Hands & Mott Children's Hospital on the east side of the state. Items that will be collected include boxes of instant oatmeal, boxes of packed fruit snacks, crayons/colored pencils/markers, children's books, and board books. Hand2Hand is an organization focused on eliminating childhood hunger for kids in West Michigan. Mott Children's Hospital is where Volunteer Assistant Coach Kayla Clark works and is serving children in need of health care. Their focus is to provide support to reduce anxiety and help children and families feel more comfortable during their health care journey. For those that donate, they will have the opportunity to win a CU volleyball gear package including a brand-new Adidas sweatshirt. 
 
Homecoming & Family Weekend
