Dear Iowa Hawkeye Fan:

Many of you recently received your I-Club annual reminder in the mail. We hope you will consider making a contribution to join the I-Club and support the 650 student-athletes who proudly represent the Iowa Hawkeyes.

Your gift will help ensure that Iowa Athletics can continue to provide our student-athletes a quality educational and athletic experience. With tuition continuing to increase, your support is more important now than ever to enable the Hawkeyes to offer scholarships and recruit top student-athletes. Your I-Club support also helps defray critical costs like team travel, equipment, supplies, and medical support, which are necessary for a successful program like Iowa's.

Because the Hawkeyes and the I-Club are going strong, we've established an ambitious goal this year of 12,000 I-Club members -- and you can help us get there.

If you've already made your annual I-Club contribution for the 2007 athletic giving year (July 1, 2006, to June 30, 2007), thank you! If you haven't renewed your membership gift or joined the Hawkeye team, please consider making your gift online.

Join the Hawkeye Team! Join the I-Club!

Matt Henderson
Executive Director, National I-Club
