Michigan student-athletes have a longstanding relationship with C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, including weekly visits that foster meaningful connections with patients and families. Those relationships inspired the selection of the Charles Woodson Fund as the 2027 Mock Rock beneficiary, extending the student-athletes' commitment to supporting the hospital and its mission.
The Mock Rock Tradition
Mock Rock was originally created in 1999 as a tribute to Michigan wrestler Jeff Reese, who passed away while training for a meet. Proceeds from the event went to fund the Jeff Reese Endowed Scholarship. Over time, Michigan student-athletes began using the event to raise funds for a beneficiary in the community.
