YPSILANTI - Eastern Michigan University students, faculty, staff, and alumni are invited to celebrate TRUEMU Night on March 7 as the Detroit Pistons take on the Washington Wizards. Game time is 7 p.m. TRUEMU Night is a great opportunity for EMU fans to come together and show their support for the EMU community and the Pistons. 

The special ticket package for EMU includes:

  • A ticket to Detroit Pistons vs. Washington Wizards.
  • A one-of-a-kind co-branded Pistons/EMU quarter zip.

"TRUEMU nights are a great way for Eastern Michigan students, faculty, staff, and alumni to get together for a fun night of camaraderie and school pride," said Walter Kraft, vice president for communications. "Fans will have the opportunity to have their photo taken with Swoop. Most exciting for many attendees is the limited supply of a one-of-a-kind co-branded Pistons/Eastern Michigan quarter zip that all attendees who purchase tickets through the EMU package will receive at no additional cost. Plus, every ticket includes a $5 donation to the Student Emergency Fund. It's a great night for a great cause!"

The Student Emergency Fund is an assistance program that provides currently enrolled students with financial support for unexpected emergency expenses.
