Those fans who attended earned free admission to the match by providing a new school supply, which was distributed by the FSU Athletics Department to Big Rapids Public Schools, which included Riverview Elementary School. Those materials collected included crayons, construction paper, markers, glue, notebooks and pencils which were distributed by social worker Keith Brothers.
The FSU Copy Center sponsored the "Back To School" event by donating two boxes of copy paper. The match was attended by over 300 people with a large contingent being from the Morley-Stanwood Community Schools.
