Golfing for Northeastern Illinois University scholarships!

My clients and long time business partners came out to support NEIU student scholarships once again in late July. My Kale Realty team has sponsored thousands of dollars over the years for my favorite annual event! All photos Eric Rojas, Broker, Kale Realty

I was excited to once again sponsor and serve on the planning committee for the 51st Chuck Kane Scholarship Golf Event with Northeastern Illinois University. The event was hosted at beautiful Bryn Mawr Country Club on July 29th. I had a great group of clients and business associates join me to compete for the 1st Place Golden Eagle Bobblehead (we were not close).

This was our first year at Bryn Mawr Country Club on Chicago's North Side and we could not had a better facility.  The lounge, bar, locker rooms, patio and banquet areas are fantastic.  The course is in terrific condition and the fore caddies that were super fun!

The golfers line up for the start of the 51st Annual Chuck Kane Scholarship Golf event sponsored by Northeastern Illinois University staff, alumni, professors and friends.

We heard from our newly hired university President Katrina Bell-Jordan  in her first official event with NEIU! The student scholarship recipient speakers at the dinner program were phenomenal!

Thank you to all my clients for another successful year. Your business and referrals allow me to give back to my university community.

Supporting Northeastern Illinois University students through scholarships

My group had another great time playing and sponsoring NEIU Chuck Kane Scholarship Golf Event yesterday (quickly distancing after the photo!). Special thanks to Steve Dunnett, Blueleaf Lending and Nick Patterson, Owner, Kale Realty for joining me as Welcome Kit Sponsors.

It's been a long five months! Despite some challenges Northeastern Illinois University was able to pull off their 48th Annual Chuck Kane Scholarship Golf Event. There was little gathering together at the sold out event but we all enjoyed seeing a few familiar faces as we made our way to the course. The university staff and Wilmette Golf Club were terrific hosts making for a very welcomed round!

Not the best approach position of the day but we pulled it out!

Thank you  Steve Dunnett, Blueleaf Lending and Nick Patterson, Owner, Kale Realty  for once again joining me as Welcome Kit Sponsor. Additional thanks to Dr. Peter Schulz, North Michigan Avenue Chiropractic , the official chiropractor of Eric Rojas, Broker, Kale Realty for joining us this year!

The event was successful in raising funds for the Chuck Kane Scholarship and many other much needed scholarships providing opportunities for hard working Northeastern Illinois students. NEIU is a fantastic university value right here on the North Side of the city.  Please support their efforts by donating to the general scholarship fund here! You may also designate your donation to the Alumni Travel Study Scholarship established by me and two alumni awarded to current students wishing to participate in study abroad programs. Thank you!

Thank you Kale Realty and our Northeastern Illinois University Kane Golf Event sponsors

We were happy to earmark scholarship dollars to the Alumni Travel Study Scholarship. The award, founded few years ago by myself and fellow alumni, helps students pay for study abroad trips!

NEIU President Gloria Gibson addresses the dinner program after the round and promises to play next year! The raffle and silent auction brought home some much needed dollars for scholarships.

I once again failed to get photos with the fantastic university development and alumni relations staff. They make this a welcoming and fun outing every year! I look forward to serving on the committee for another great event next summer.

Kale Realty, Inkt marketing, Blueleaf Lending and our clients raising money for Northeastern Illinois University student scholarships at last year's golf outing.

After graduating from Northeastern Illinois University in the North Park neighborhood of Chicago I've had the chance to be involved with the university on many levels.  This year my colleagues and I took the opportunity to step up our contributions. Kale Realty, Inkt Marketing and Steve Dunnett of Blueleaf Lending are the Northeastern Illinois University Welcome Sponsors for this year's Chuck Kane Scholarship Golf Event this Monday June 18th, 2018.  

I joined alumni Ellen Larrimore and Chuck Good to establish the new Alumni Travel Study Scholarship.

Proceeds from our sponsorship will support the newly established Alumni Study Tour Scholarship. 

Some of my favorite NEIU people joined me at the annual Donor/ Scholar luncheon this year!

I'm happy to say I received my college degree from Northeastern Illinois University.  The many scholarship opportunities, affordable tuition, professors and administrators all helped achieve my degree in three years debt free. Contact me to support the NEIU scholarship golf outing or many other university initiatives!
