Drew Stanton set several records as a quarterback at Michigan State, but has made an even greater impact on the community through his High 5ive Foundation. Established in 2008, the mission of the High 5ive Foundation is to improve the quality of life for all people with varying disabilities through raising public awareness and inspiring individuals toward achieving personal goals which at one time seemed unattainable. The foundation has supported numerous community partners, including Special Olympics Michigan, Children’s Miracle Network, Sparrow Children’s Center and Orchard’s Children’s Services. A two-time captain and two-time team MVP at Michigan State, Stanton was selected in the second round of the 2007 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions and he went on to spend 14 seasons in the NFL. He won a Super Bowl ring with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021.
