Shockers Host Charity Scrimmage for Local Kids

About this episode

Wichita State men’s basketball is hosting Murray State for a charity scrimmage on October 7th at 6:30 PM in Charles Koch Arena—perfect for hoops fans and community supporters alike. Tickets are $20, general admission, first come, first served. All proceeds benefit two local heroes: the Wichita Children’s Home, which has sheltered at-risk youth since 1888, and Cheese Johnson’s UJUMP program, mentoring underserved kids ages 9–12 in entrepreneurship. It’s also your first chance to see the Shockers play before the regular season against a Missouri Valley Conference contender they haven’t faced since 1953. Grab your ticket—it’s basketball with purpose. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
