Walk was a close friend of mine and I currently sit on the board of the Randy Walker Legacy Foundation. The Foundation exists to honor Walk's memory by helping cultivate the next generation of football coaches and we have recently expanded our mission by helping our veteran heroes transition into coaching careers
Our annual fund raising event is a golf outing on Monday, June 19 at The Club at Wynstone in Barrington. It's a great event--Fitz always attends along with other NU coaches and former NU players. Football coaches from the "Randy Walker Tree" and other D1 schools also turn out in big numbers, as do NU die-hard fans like you and me. This year, our guest speakers are two names that will be very familiar to all of you--Zak Kustok and Dan Persa. (Austin King and Zach Streif were our guest speakers the last two years). The golf event is a scramble format where you can form your own foursome or be paired with other coaches and fans. Wynstone is a great track and for those of you that have never played there, you are in for a treat!
A link with registration information is below but the schedule is as follows: 10am Registration/Hit Balls. 11am Lunch. Noon Balls in the Air. 5pm Cocktails/Brief Awards Ceremony. 6pm Head home. I hope many of you can attend or make a contribution--you will be helping good people as well as honoring Walk's memory. And it's always a blast to meet new friends & connect with former NU players and coaches.
Here is the link: www.randywalkerlegacy.org. Go to the drop down menu on the upper right of the homepage and click on links for the Golf Outing Brochure and the Registration/Donation form.
Thanks and I hope to see many of you there on Monday, June 19! Go 'Cats!
