Nothing Bundt Cakes, a new bakery in Okemos, held a fundraiser benefit at their ribbon cutting on Friday, donating 20% of sales to the Gregory H. Montgomery Jr. Foundation for Ultimate Growth.

The foundation was started after former Michigan State University and NFL punter Greg Montgomery lost his battle with mental illness in 2020. They strive to provide mental health resources for all the student-athletes at MSU.

“Greg was a friend in school … he was just really someone I thought highly of,” Okemos Nothing Bundt Cakes owner Wendy Kinney said. “I kept in touch with him through his struggle with bipolar disorder because it’s something that’s near and dear to my heart.”

The foundation also developed a curriculum for coaches to discuss mental wellness with athletes called S.C.O.R.E.

“That’s ‘strive, connect, overcome, recharge, and evolve,” president of the Gregory H. Montgomery Jr. Foundation for Ultimate Growth and Montgomery’s sister, Margot Montgomery Moran, said.
