The board of the University Women’s Club of Northern Illinois University, as part of its philanthropy program, awarded $500 to Kim Kester, head coach of the NIU Women’s Golf Team.
These funds will be used to purchase team travel jackets for the young women of the golf team.
The University Women’s Club has given similar monetary gifts to other NIU women’s sports programs in the past to assist in the purchase of team uniforms or equipment. The UWC also presents academic scholarships to NIU women students each year to assist them in meeting the financial needs for their education.
