Richard Knipple, club president, said the team's assistant coaches -- including Dan Enos, offensive coordinator, and Paul Rhodes, newly promoted defensive coordinator -- are slated to be included in the luncheon's program. The benefit will conclude with a question-and-answer session to give fans an opportunity to query coaches.
The local club is a chapter of the Razorback Foundation and proceeds from the fourth annual fundraiser will help the club support the foundation's work to provide more than 460 scholarships annually, facilities and other programs for Razorback student-athletes. The foundation also hosts basketball, spring and football banquets and a summer celebrity golf tournament.
