EVANSTON, Ill. -- The third annual `Cats Caravan continues this weekend at the Walk for Randy 5K and Summer on Southport. Fans will have the opportunity to win great prizes with the Wildcat prize wheel as well as have a chance to win tickets to a 2010 Northwestern home football game.
"We are excited to be able to deliver the `Cats Caravan once again to our fans this summer. The Caravan is a tremendous opportunity for fans learn all the great ways their family can experience Big Ten Football in their backyard," notes John Mack, Senior Associate Athletic Director.
This year the `Cats Caravan is also stopping by youth summer camps throughout the Chicago area. In the upcoming weeks the Caravan will be stopping by Wilmette, Vernon Hills, Deerfield and Glenview to name just a few park districts. Campers will have the chance to compete for prizes and meet Northwestern student-athletes at these stops.
For more information about these initiatives, as well as updated stops on the `Cats Caravan this summer, be sure to keep checking the calendar on NUsports.com or e-mail wildcatmarketing@northwestern.edu.
