DETROIT, MI, April 15, 2019- The Detroit Pistons may have won in their face off against the Memphis Grizzlies 100-93, but the real winner of Wayne State Night at Little Caesar’s Arena was the HIGH Program. On top of discounted tickets and various incentives (such as a co-branded Wayne State and Pistons t-shirt and a chance to take a shot on the court following the game), $5 of every ticket sale was donated to the HIGH Program.
