A Weekend of Tradition and Giving
The Wildcat Football Club is set to host a Legacy Weekend fundraiser that blends sport, community and philanthropy, bringing together alumni, supporters and friends for a series of events that celebrate the program’s rich history.
Kicking off on Friday, June 19, the weekend begins with a golf outing at the Marquette Golf Club, offering participants a chance to swing on the fairways while contributing to a cause that resonates across the university’s fan base.
The celebration culminates on Saturday, June 20, with a public gathering honoring longtime supporter Herb Grenke, featuring an auction, drinks and a menu of locally sourced food designed to showcase regional flavors.
Organizers say the event is designed to unite alumni and supporters through cohesive messaging and constant communication, ensuring that every donor feels part of the Wildcat legacy and the broader community.
Tickets for the Saturday celebration are priced at $25, a modest fee that covers the auction items, refreshments and a chance to meet fellow fans while supporting the club’s future initiatives.
The fundraiser is being coordinated in partnership with Northern Michigan University, leveraging the campus’s strong ties to the local community and its commitment to student‑athlete development.
Set against the backdrop of Marquette, Michigan, the weekend promises to reinforce the bond between the university, its athletes and the broader fan base, creating lasting memories for all who attend.
