There’s a lot to celebrate at the Wabash CannonBall gala — K-Staters arrive, dressed in their finest purple attire, for an evening of cocktails, dining with friends, and dancing to the sounds of a live band. However, the true heart of the evening is raising money for scholarships, so that the next generation of students can become Wildcats.

The K-State Alumni Association hosted the Wabash CannonBall Colorado on Aug. 2 at The Brown Palace Hotel. Over the past six years, this event has raised more than $450,000, which helps fund scholarships for area students to attend K-State.

“I can’t wait to be a part of the Wildcat family,” said 2019 scholarship winner Natalie Hummell, Colorado Springs, Colorado. “This scholarship helps ease the financial stress. It will allow me to focus all my energy into my studies and make the most out of my time at K-State. Thank you for this tremendous opportunity!”
