SOTS Raises over $110k for ChadTough Foundation (+ Lil' Wayne gives shoutout to entire 2016 class)

That is awesome.  That little guy will have a huge positive impact on this world.  

That is amazing. Put that in your pipe and smoke it Tyriq Thompson.

That's great. Still don't understand little Wayne's connection to UM other than the fact that we're now mid-2000s USC (minus sanctions) celebrity wise

I had two double take that amount.. Wow. What a beautiful, beautiful thing. The impact both Chad and the rest of the Carr's have had on this community is nothing short of amazing.

That's amazing. Yes it was a bit over the top, but the end result is a fun event and lots of money going to a great cause.

Glad Wayne made a shout out as well. I'd love it if he came next year..

Harbaugh is a genius. That was such a fun and worthwhile event I hope they do it every year. I also have a new found respect for Lou Holtz and Rick Flair. I'm sorry I wasn't there in person!

And THIS is why SOTS should continue!

I think I speak for everyone when I say fuck cancer.

this kid and his life accomplished more in 5 years than my 30+. It's devastating when you stop to consider how unfair it seems, beyond the obvious pain. It's just unfair and unjust and people like myself should be ashamed that we haven't fixed it with the time we've been given. I haven't made a dent. I don't feel like charity is enough for me in these situations. I give but I still feel terrible, like I'm giving CPR but have no idea what to do so I just pretend and imitate what I see on TV. He was stronger than me, too! No cliché BS! I'd have given up mentally or physically long before he did and I don't think he "gave up" as much as his body was too young to continue in a literal sense. He didn't look defeated just days before the end. He looked willing but literally unable, the same as if someone asked us to lift a 2-ton boulder. A 5 year old was legitimately tougher than me and most kids in his situation are. No pandering, just fact. Anyway... I'm glad so much money was raised! I believe you can add at least another $50k, too. If I had hit the powerball I swear on everything that I'd find a cure or go broke trying. I've spent too much time muffling my sobs to not put all my chips in the center. Sadly, my monthly chips are only 2-3 digits in size and it feels like it doesn't help.

fuck everyone knocking the event, btw. I'm talking about those saying it was all a gimmick, etc. Yes, it was largely based on recruiting. No question. Obviously. Yet, the event took something everyone already goes nuts for and raised money. If not there everyone in attendance would just be sitting at home, school or work looking at Twitter. I'm stunned it took a team this long to do this......AND raise money for Cancer research! Fuck the salty.

When talking about Eubanks he says "He looks like a tackle who got lost coming out of the huddle"

 

For those of us that weren't able to make it, we can still donate. here's the Chad Tough page for SOTS.  Just donate and add Signing of the Stars in the notes area and boom there's your good deed of the day.

I was really glad to see Devin Gardner as one of the presenters. I know the W/L isn't what we'd all have liked, and the stats weren't there, but I can think of few players who represented the UM football program with more courage, dignity and integrity than Devin Gardner. Thanks for playing for Michigan, Devin!

That's cool.

I'm guessing the AD absorbed all related expenses in their budget?
