2008 Michigan's "Mock Rock"

Nice to see these student/athletes on a lighter side and also them supporting the C.S. Mott's Children's Hospital.

You will have to slide the bar down till you find "Mock Rock" since other videos have went up since this was done.

EVENT BACKGROUND:
Every year the Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) and the Letterwinners M-Club (varsity athlete alumni association) present Mock Rock, a light-hearted talent and variety show featuring current varsity student-athletes.

The event was created by the M-Club and SAAC in 1999 as a tribute to the life of Michigan wrestler Jeff Reese, who died during training.

Proceeds from Mock Rock initially went to the Jeff Reese endowed scholarship fund. Once this goal was met, the student-athletes wanted to keep the tradition of Mock Rock alive, with C.S. Mott Children's Hospital being the ideal partner.
Every Thursday night student-athletes have the opportunity to participate in the "From the Heart" program, visiting with the patients of Mott and sharing some special moments. The time is usually spent telling stories, playing with toys and signing autographs. Michigan student-athletes love to volunteer their time, but Mock Rock gives them the opportunity to do more for these kids.
