The proceeds, which total $850, benefit the Cadet Fund. The Cadet Fund supports the participation of the NIU Huskie ROTC Batallion in the Army Ten Miler, the annual Huskie Battalion Military Ball, and the ROTC Marksmanship team among many other opportunities.

“Our 50th Anniversary events were a success because our alumni and cadets used a valuable opportunity to meet and forge the bonds that sustain a career in the military,” NIU ROTC Chair Beth Liechti Johnson, ’81 said. “Our alumni look forward to strengthening those connections in the coming years.”
