Thank you for supporting our athletes

We are excited for the RedHawk Golf Classic — the premier fundraising event for Indiana University Northwest Athletics — to return to Innsbrook Country Club in Merrillville, Indiana, on Monday, June 2, 2025.

This event is a great way to bring alumni, donors, student-athletes, faculty, staff, and community members together to have fun, laugh, and support our IU Northwest Athletics programs.

You can participate as a sponsor, golfer (alumni or faculty/staff of IU Northwest receive a special discount), team, or simply donate to help support our student-athletes.

Thanks to our participants and sponsors, we raised nearly $30,000 for student-athlete scholarships last year. This money helps fund the academic and athletic goals of our current and future student-athletes. It helps IU Northwest continue to compete at a high level in the competitive Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference.
