Haskell Athletics Fundraising Dinner
Benefitting Haskell Indian Nations University Athletics
Tuesday, December 16, 2025 | KU Memorial Union Ballroom | Lawrence, Kansas
The Haskell Foundation invites you to an evening of networking, great food, and celebration. Haskell Athletics invites you to this fundraising event where you will enjoy a 3-course catered traditional dinner from Chef Jason “The Native Chef,” the opportunity to mingle with special guests, student-athlete presentations and traditional performances, a silent auction, a free ticket to the December 17th basketball game, and more. The event will coincide with the ESPN+ televised KU vs. Haskell Women’s Basketball Game on December 17, 2025. Our fundraising goal is $50,000 to support scholarships, equipment, travel, and wellness programs for Haskell student-athletes.
💜 This event is open to the public and welcomes all who wish to support Native student-athletes and celebrate Indigenous culture—including non-Native kin and community allies.
Guests will enjoy:
🍽️ 3-Course Traditional Dinner & Program – A three-course meal prepared by Chef Jason, featuring traditional Native-inspired cuisine served by Haskell student-athletes. The evening includes welcome remarks, student stories, cultural demonstrations, and special guests against a fun networking and mingling evening.
🎁 Silent Auction– Bid on exclusive items and experiences while directly supporting Haskell Athletics programs.
All proceeds benefit Haskell Indian Nations University Athletics through the Haskell Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing education and opportunity for Native youth.
Your participation helps fund athletic scholarships, equipment, travel, and wellness programs, ensuring Haskell student-athletes continue to thrive both on and off the field. Sponsorship opportunities are available, including the chance to sponsor a Haskell athletic team for the 2025–26 season.
Join us for this unforgettable evening of purpose, pride, and partnership. Be part of a movement that uplifts Native athletes and celebrates the enduring spirit of Haskell.
🎟️ Limited seats available. Reserve your place early!
