EVANSTON, Ill. -- Cat Backers, the women who support Northwestern athletics, particularly the football program, are hosting their next luncheon this Thursday, Oct. 22.
Founded a dozen years ago, the Cat Backers meet during the season for lunch and conversation, augmented by the scoop on the upcoming game from an NU coach and a visit with some of the players. When they talk `Catch of the Day,' it's more about who received the ball from the quarterback and did they cross the goal line, not the menu.
The next meeting, Oct. 22, is being held at Evanston's Hilton Garden Inn with WGN sports director Dave Eanet serving as the emcee and special guest. Northwestern superbacks coach Bob Heffner will be on hand to tell the guests about his position group.
The final date on the Cat Backer luncheon calendar will be:
November 19: Hilton Garden Inn
Matt MacPherson, Running Backs coach
Jay Hooten, Assistant Director of Strength & Conditioning
Nolan Jones, Director of Football Operations
Annual membership dues are $25. Luncheons are priced at $25 each and, with the exception of the Stadium Club kickoff, are open to members only. To learn more about the Cat Backers, or RSVP for a luncheon, contact Tammy Walker at 847-467-4799.
