Cal Fan Appreciation Day: An even better reason

The Jersey looks awesome Michelle.

As if there weren't already a great reason to attend Saturday's Fan Appreciation Day at Memorial Stadium from 12-2 (to meet players and coaches, get autographs and take photos), the program has provided an even greater one.

The Golden Bears have partnered with Project Michelle to support Michelle Maykin, a Cal grad who was diagnosed with leukemia earlier this year. Members of the Cal football team, its coaching staff and the University athletic department staff will be registering to be potential donors at the marrow drive being held at Saturday's event. Staff from the Asian American Donor Program (part of the National Marrow Donor Program network) along with volunteers from Project Michelle will be present to register potential donors.

Michelle is a true Cal fan, a season ticket owner, and even named her dog "Marshawn" after Marshawn Lynch.

So come on all, come out Saturday, and show your support for the program, and more importantly, an even greater cause.

Dang, too bad i'll be out of town for this doing a fantasy draft. Looks like a shitload of fun.

But I DO plan on taking Marshwn with the #9 overall pick, hehe.
