Willie the Wildcat Now Available for Private Events

7/30/2024 12:00:00 PM | General, Spirit Squad

Northwestern Athletics and Recreation has opened an online process for requesting Willie the Wildcat to appear at private events. Appearance requests are limited, and they must be made 30 days prior to the event date. Thirty- and sixty-minute appearances are available, and rates will vary depending on the organization type, event structure, and distance traveled to the event. Requests are managed by Head Spirit Squad Coach Valerie Ruiz.

Funds from appearances directly support the mascot program at Northwestern University, primarily maintenance and repair of Willie the Wildcat. To request an appearance at an event, complete the form found at app.nusports.com/williethewildcat.

Questions regarding Willie the Wildcat requests can be directed to Valerie Ruiz at valerie@northwestern.edu.
