This is the fifth time Detroit Mercy will play a game to give back to DPS. In 2022, Titan Athletics solicited donations online and in-person at all men's and women's home basketball games, which totaled $2,500, and the matching contribution gave the DPS Foundation $5,000.

In the history of the event, Titan Athletics and Michigan First have helped raise nearly $30,000 for DPS K-5 between ticket sales and matching contributions from the Credit Union.
