Fund a Wildcat

Fund a Wildcat is the Wabash CannonBall's philanthropic portion of the evening that raised nearly $340,000 at the 2023 event.  Thanks to your generosity, we were able to award 109 scholarships to high school seniors from the greater Kansas City area for the 2023-2024 school year!

During Fund a Wildcat, your individual contribution will be combined at your table for a grand total that gives you a chance to win fabulous prizes.
