Professor Charles (Chuck) Kane was NEIU's first athletic director and golf coach. His colleagues remember him as a warm and wonderful man who took great pride in his teaching. Since 1972, the Charles G. Kane Memorial Golf Outing has been raising scholarship funds for Northeastern Illinois University students. The outing began as a way for members of the Department of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics (H.P.E.R.A.) to help students and honor their colleague and mentor Charles G. Kane, NEIU's first athletic director and golf coach.
The net profits from this outing have endowed two scholarships funds, the Charles G. Kane Memorial Scholarship and the NEIU Chuck Kane Scholarship. Seventy-two students have received scholarships from these funds.

Today, the outing is a joint venture between the Department of H.P.E.R.A. and the NEIU Foundation. The net profits from the Kane golf outings are distributed among the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business and Management and the College of Education for annual scholarship awards.
SAVE THE DATE:
The 35th Annual Chuck Kane Memorial Golf Outing will be held on August 13, 2007 at the Highland Park Country Club in Highland Park, Illinois. You and your family, friends and colleagues are invited to join us for lunch, 18 holes of golf and dinner.
