'Full House' actor, Michigan native Dave Coulier donates $125,000 to Children's Hospital Thursday morning, Michigan native and actor Dave Coulier presented the Children's Hospital of Michigan Foundation with a $125,000 donation.

LIVING THE MISSION: So heartening to see how alum and budding local entrepreneur Pedro Escobedo NDP'22 put his high school mission to work yesterday as he organized a hugely successful "Backpack Giveback" on our campus, which collected and distributed nearly 400 backpacks full of school essentials to needy students in the Pontiac community.

Escobedo on why he got involved:

"Education is key to life and success. But sometimes as a student, obstacles cross our path that make learning and retaining info a bit more difficult. One of the main issues is not having school essentials. Having a notepad to take notes on, and pencils of your own helps students drastically. It has been my dream to help students enjoy school and be happy to show up."
