DetroitTitans.com caught up with senior guard
Chris Jenkins and told us about his summer and his mindset heading into this season.
The exhibition against Wayne State is part of the brand new "City College Series," a sponsorship formed with Michigan First Credit Union to raise money for DPS with the aid of a basketball game between local academic institutions in the city.
All proceeds from the ticket sales will be donated to Detroit Public Schools to provide financial assistance for the district's K-5 classrooms with Michigan First contributing a matching donation for all tickets sold.
Tickets for the game can be purchased now over the phone or in person at Calihan Hall (4001 W. McNichols Road in Detroit). For additional information about the game, sponsorships or donations, contact Detroit Mercy Director of Athletic Marketing & Promotions
