Thank you to all of our wonderful guests and sponsors at this year's gala; we loved seeing your purple pride on display and your generous support for future students! 

To date, the gala has awarded nearly 1,100 scholarships for Kansas City-area students totaling approximately $2.7 million. The Wabash CannonBall Kansas City also has funded a scholarship endowment fund totaling nearly $4.2 million.

"While we are all always glad to renew our K-State relationships from our years in Manhattan, tonight is really about the future of both K-State and our communities here in the Kansas City area," chair couple Marc ’79 and Jana Elkins ’78 said of the event. "The education and experience our scholarship winners will bring back to our communities multiplies our investment tonight many times."
