YPSILANTI, Mich.

The department is currently holding a poll of four movies to choose from, and the one with the most votes will be shown at dusk on a 32-foot projector screen with surround sound. Gates will open at 8 p.m., with the movie starting at roughly 8:30 p.m.

Fans can vote between Despicable Me 2, Megamind, Wreck it Ralph and Big Hero 6 to be the film shown on that Monday evening. Voting will be available on EMUEagles.com until 5 p.m. on Friday, July 31.

Single attendees, as well as families will be asked for a $5 donation, which 100 percent of the proceeds will be donated to the United Way of Washtenaw County.  All seating will be on the turf and fans are encouraged to bring blankets to sit on, while furniture of any type will be prohibited. Concessions will be available for purchase and the money raised through concession sales will also be donated to the United Way of Washtenaw County.

"The United Way of Washtenaw County works every day to make sure students are ready to succeed in school and graduate on time – paving the way for future success at colleges like Eastern Michigan University.  We are pleased to partner with EMU again to help local dollars change local lives," shared Pam Smith, President of the United Way of Washtenaw County. "The United Way is interested in a cradle to career continuum that helps children become life long learners that in turn, builds a stronger community.
