Special event to honor Wichita’s top high school athletes

Several sports organizations are working together to host a special event for athletes who have graduated from Wichita high schools.  It’s called 150 For 150, and it will be held at Charles Koch Arena on August 15th, 2020.

The event is being sponsored by League 42, Visit Wichita, Wichita State University Athletics, the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame and It Takes A Village, Inc.   It will feature outstanding athletes who graduated from Wichita high schools.    More than 150 athletes will be recognized, including three of the city’s all-time greats, Lynnette Woodard, Jim Ryun and Barry Sanders.   The event is part of a year-long celebration of Wichita’s 150th birthday in 2020.

General admission tickets for the event will go on sale in the spring, and they will start at $20 per seat.  There will also be tables and sponsorships that will include dinner and visibility rights on printed materials, as well as seating options with featured athletes from the program.     More information is available at league42wichita@gmail.com
