Michigan State recorded a donated aviation gift valued at $14,361.41 for Volleyball Media Day. The Board of Trustees reports name Kevin Preston as the donor and Intercollegiate Athletics or the Spartan Fund as the recipient.

N580Z flew KLAN–KMDW on August 5, 2024. The aircraft movement is the high-confidence outing associated with the Board record.

The Board record establishes the donor, recipient, stated purpose and value, but it generally does not identify the flight date, aircraft, route or passenger list. Only the Lansing-to-Chicago flight is supported by the retained movement record; the return is not retained.
