Sutton to speak at NSU event






Former Oklahoma State basketball coach Eddie Sutton is the guest speaker at Northeastern State University's benefit auction for the Athletic Department on Oct. 8 at 6 p.m. Proceeds would help fund facility upgrades, operations and scholarships.

The event is in the Rozell Ballroom in the University Center and begins with a silent auction during which hors d'oeuvres and drinks will be served. Results of the silent auction will be determined at 7:15 pm. Dinner begins at 7:30 pm followed by the live auction and comments from Sutton.

Admission is $30 for individuals or $300 for a 10-seat table; however, paying attendees receive a $30 credit to enhance bids at the silent auction.

The live auction packages include a one-week trip to Hawaii with air fare for two, four passes to a South Dakota pheasant hunt, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State sports collectibles signed by various coaches and players including Bob Stoops, Jeff Capel, Eddie Sutton, Thurman Thomas, Blake Griffin and Adrian Peterson, two 40-yard-line tickets to the 2009 OU-Texas football game, suite and premier tickets to college basketball and NBA games and major league baseball games and various condo travel packages.
