Craig Fedore

Craig Fedore

"Craig Fedore grew up on campus in the early 60s. Since his father was faculty, MSU was his playground. Its meandering pathways, vibrant gardens and athletic events were always a part of Craig's life and someday, he knew he would be a part of it. What he didn't know is that he would meet the love of his life on this same campus."

Beal Botanical Garden was the site of their first date and the beginning of a life together. His gift to Beal's Wild at Heart campaign will create the Therese and Craig Fedore Michigan Flora Garden, where Michigan native plants can grow, thrive, and inspire future Spartans. 

Thank you Spartan Magazine for featuring the Fedore family's story.
