Flyer Red Dinner Photo Gallery

Romeoville, Ill. - The inaugural Flyer Red Dinner - presented by the Lewis University Athletics Department - was a sweeping fundraising success as the event drew over 300 people to the Drury Lane Theater and Conference Center on Friday, March 17th.

 The Flyer Red Dinner featured the induction of former student-athletes Duane Chappell (men's track and field), Robin (Martz) Hammer (softball), Eduardo Quinones (men's volleyball) and Kirk Vucsko (men's basketball/baseball) into the Lewis Athletics Hall of Fame. Former Lewis Athletics Director and Coach Paul Ruddy was also recognized as the Lasallian of the Year.

The program also featured a silent auction featuring several local sports teams and events.

All funds raised  from the dinner and silent auction will directly benefit current and future Lewis student-athletes.

"The Flyer Red Dinner was a tremendous success," Lewis Director of Athletics Dr. John Planek said. "Our inaugural efforts combining a major fundraising initiative with our Hall of Fame inductions proved to be very well received.

"Our efforts this year will help us grow this event in the future for the benefit of our student-athletes."
