If Michael Jordan doesn’t unretire, the Chicagoland Chapters of the NIU Huskies Athletic Association are making it possible for one lucky person to have one of the select few Air Jordan game jerseys—better yet, one of his autographed jerseys.

The Huskie Chicagoland Dinner/Auction is set for Friday, Nov. 19 at the Hyatt Regency Oak Brook with the cost of $50 per person covering the 6:30 p.m. dinner. Proceeds from the oral and silent auction will be used to benefit the NIU athletic scholarship fund.

Reservations for dinner may be made by calling the NIU Athletic Development Office at (815) 753-1301. NIU football boss Charlie Sadler will be among the Huskie coaches in attendance for the dinner.

‘An authentic Air Jordan game jersey which is autographed and carries with it a certificate of authenticity.
