Jim Leyland dabbed, Derek Jeter hung out with Tom Brady, Ric Flair was in attendance, and Michigan raised more than $110,000 for the charity ChadTough during Wednesday's extravagant "Signing of the Stars."
A fundraiser was held during the event for ChadTough, the foundation named for Chad Carr, the grandson of former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr. Chad died from Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), a brain tumor, on Nov. 23, 2015. His story had strong ties to the Michigan football team, so they try to help out whenever possible, and Wednesday was no different.

When asked by the Big Ten Network how Harbaugh got so many stars to show up, he had a simple response.
“Love for the university … but most importantly love for Chad Carr, ChadTough, his family, what Lloyd Carr has meant to this town, this state, this country,” he said. “Tammi and Jason, Chad, his brothers. We’ve all witnessed it.
“When you see love, you see love for a young 5-year-old boy, when you see him love back, and everybody involved, it brings you nearer to God. I think that was the cornerstone of this event. Let that pour out and let others see it, too.”
