The evening featured a dinner buffet, question and answer sessions with Drake head coaches and student-athletes, remarks from interim director of athletics Sandy Hatfield Clubb, Drake University president Marty Martin and a special award presentation of the Paul Morrison Golden Bulldog Award.
The highlight of the night was the presentation of the 2016 Paul F. Morrison Golden Bulldog Award to Suzie Glazer Burt and Greg Burt for their tremendous commitment to Drake Athletics and the university community. The Burts have made significant contributions to the Shivers Basketball Practice Facility, orchestrated the Bulldogs' Raise the Purse fundraiser and provided essential vision and advocacy for the new on campus Boys & Girls Club and also made a lead gift to the Gregory & Suzie Glazer Burt Club.
