I-Club members are an important part of the Iowa Hawkeye team. Hawkeye student-athletes and coaches in every sport count on the I-Club to help carry them forward with pride. And opposing teams around the nation envy the UI for the dedicated -- and generous -- loyalty of its fans.

Annual financial support from I-Club members makes the Hawkeye difference. We're just a few hundred Hawkeye fans away from our ambitious 2005 goal of 11,000 I-Club members, an unmistakable signal of Hawkeye strength and pride.

If you're not already a member, join the Hawkeye team -- join the National I-Club. GO HAWKS!
