Dec. 15, 2006

LAWRENCE, Kan. –

The Kansas women’s basketball team spent Friday morning shopping for seven local families. With the help of local donations, KU players browsed a local Target for the families’ “Wish List” gifts.

“I’m thrilled with the opportunity to have our players give back to the local community,” head coach Bonnie Henrickson said. “It’s an exciting way for them to understand the true meaning of giving during the holiday season.”

The gifts purchased varied from a toy train set to children’s clothing.

The Jayhawks will return to the hardwood on Sunday, Dec. 17 against Santa Clara. Tip-off at Allen Fieldhouse is set for 2 p.m.
