Paul Hartman, Denise Wise and Brian McCarthy

If you are wearing a t-shirt that has anything to do with Oakland University athletics, chances are pretty good that it was printed by Primo Screen Printing. The company, co-owned by Brian McCarthy and Denise Wise, is receiving the community service award for its donations to the athletic department over the last decade.

Brian and Denise have donated the Oakland 100 sweaters given to each new member when they join the men’s basketball booster club. Primo has also donated the item’s thrown out by the men’s basketball team prior to each game. In the past it has ranged from t-shirts to bandanas; this year it’s mini-basketballs. Primo has also been involved in a number of promotions throughout the years, including the giveaway of "I Love Oakland Basketball" t-shirts.

Brain and Denise are also active Oakland 100 members and attend a number of Pioneer athletic events as another way of showing support for the university.
