the history of the Chuck Kane Scholarship Golf outing
Chuck Kane, former NEIU athletic director, was a dedicated teacher and a beloved golf coach. The NEIU community honors his memory with the annual Chuck Kane Scholarship Golf Event, the University's longest running philanthropic event. The Kane family continues to support the event as golfers and sponsors.
“The mission of this event is to support our students with scholarships and to honor the memory of a consummate professor,” said Liesl Downey, executive director of the NEIU Foundation and Northeastern’s vice president for Institutional Advancement. “It is one of the most symbolic efforts of the Foundation, and we are grateful to everyone who joins us in our efforts.”
To date, the Chuck Kane Scholarship Golf Outing has helped to grow an endowment that supports nearly 10 scholarships across the University's four colleges, as well as supporting various other scholarships and initiatives.
If you would like to help with the 2024 event, discuss sponsorship opportunities or share ideas for the event, email Sylvia Daniels at s-daniels4@neiu.edu or call (773) 442-4231.
