EVENTS
Drive for 25
With over 230,000 NIU alumni across the United States and less than 1,200 active Huskie Athletic Fund donors, it is our goal to increase membership to at least 2,500 in order to provide our student-athletes the best possible experience while at NIU. The Huskie Athletic Fund is not able to make contact with all alumni and fans of NIU so we are asking dedicated and connected Huskies for referrals.
Baseball Lead Off Banquet
NIU Baseball would like to cordially invite you to this years Lead Off Dinner to be held on February 10th in Maple Park, IL at the Acquaviva Winery. NIU Baseball will honor Hall of Fame alumnus Fritz Peterson with Keynote address by current MLB umpire Dan Bellino, ‘00.
All the proceeds from the event go directly to enriching the NIU Baseball Student- Athlete experience. With your past support you have helped aid in team travel to Arizona, new uniforms, additional practice gear, ATECH Baseball Training Machine and other team equipment.
We hope you will continue to support our program and this years Lead Off Dinner. You can contribute to the success of the Lead Off Dinner by purchasing a ticket and attending the event, purchasing a table sponsorship (similar to hole sponsor in a golf outing) or you can sponsor a baseball student-athlete's attendance to the event.
The event will be a fun evening of Huskieball and will feature a dinner by Acquaviva, silent auction items and guest speakers.
