K-Staters from the Kansas City area gathered to celebrate their purple pride and raise funds for student scholarships at the 11^th annual Wabash CannonBall Kansas City on Feb. 24 at the Overland Park Convention Center.

The elegant evening of dining, dancing and donating drew a crowd of nearly 800 K-State alumni, supporters and university administrators. In the first decade, the event has built an endowment of nearly $2 million and funded more than 370 scholarships — totaling $932,500 — for Kansas City-area high school students to attend K-State.

“Thank you to all of our alumni and supporters who helped us celebrate K-State at the 11^th annual Wabash CannonBall Kansas City,” said Andrea Bryant Gladin ’02, director of alumni programs. “Your generous support of scholarships makes it possible for future generations of Wildcats to attend K-State. Thank you!”
