Indiana University Northwest will host its annual signature fundraising event in support of student scholarships at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 22, at Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana.
The event, IU Northwest Presents: An Evening at the Hard Rock on IU Day, will celebrate recent accomplishments, highlight exciting campus initiatives and look ahead to a future filled with opportunities for IU Northwest students.
Guests will enjoy dinner and cocktails, hear inspirational remarks from IU Northwest students and campus leadership, and connect with many of the region’s leading professionals in one of Northwest Indiana’s premier venues.
This year’s event coincides with the 10th anniversary of IU Day, Indiana University’s annual university-wide celebration recognizing the people, partnerships and philanthropy that make IU possible.
“Hosting this event on IU Day provides an opportunity for the campus and community to come together in support of our shared mission of advancing student success through scholarship,” said IU Northwest Chancellor Arrick Jackson.
Tickets are $200 for an individual or $1,600 for a table of eight. Proceeds will support student scholarships and general student support through the IU Northwest Development Fund.
“We are grateful to Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana, the event’s title sponsor, for their continued commitment to enriching the lives of our students and strengthening the future of our region,” Jackson said.
Additional sponsorship opportunities are available.
