NORMAL, Ill. - Every year, passionate Redbird fans gather together to raise funds for the women's athletics programs at Illinois State. This year's annual 'Bird Bash' will be held Thursday, April 26, inside Redbird Arena and is open to the public.
The event, which is presented by the Weisbecker Scholarship Fund and Illinois State Athletics, recognizes and celebrates the hard work and dedication of Redbird women student-athletes and raises funds to support their efforts. This year's event will be hosted by emcee Kendra Haselhorst-Bull, an ISU graduate and former volleyball standout from 1997-2001. Since 2006, the annual fundraising event has raised over $390,000 for ISU women's athletics programs.
