Quote by President Coleman

"Everyone who steps up to participate in the Big House Big Heart run is a champion because they support countless children and adults being treated at the University of Michigan Health System.

Along with the thrill of racing through Michigan Stadium comes the satisfaction of knowing your participation helps the U-M Program for Neurology Research & Discovery, C.S. Mott Children's Hospital and Women's Hospital and the U-M Cardiovascular Center. Thank you for putting your best foot forward for such important programs."

- Mary Sue Coleman, President, University of Michigan
 

Quote by David Brandon:

“The University of Michigan Athletic Department strives to reach out and embrace the greater Ann Arbor community.  Back in 2007, when our Department approved Big House Big Heart, we facilitated the creation and development of an extraordinary community experience.  Extraordinary in so many ways…from running down the tunnel of the greatest football stadium in America to raising significant funds for area charitable organizations and the University of Michigan Health System.  The experience will be even more special this year with the completion of the impressive expansion and renovation of the Big House.  Go Blue!”  - David Brandon, Director of Athletics, University of Michigan
 

Quote by Ora Hirsch Pescovitz


"In addition to our goal to become the national leader in health, health care reform, biomedical innovation, and medical and nursing education, it's important that we never lose sight of the difference we can make right here in our own community.

Big House Big Heart is a way for us to raise money and support area non-profits. That the event starts and finishes in our own Michigan Stadium only reinforces how much of a difference this institution can make to our patients." - Ora Hirsch Pescovitz, M.D., Executive Vice President for Medical Affairs, University of Michigan
