Williams Education Fund Celebrates Fourth-Annual Thank You Week
LAWRENCE, Kan. – The Williams Education Fund is excited to announce the beginning of its fourth-annual Thank You Week, November 18-22. Thank You Week is a celebration of the thousands of devoted Jayhawk supporters who help provide opportunities for nearly 500 KU student-athletes to pursue a world-class education, while competing in college athletics at the highest level. Several of our student-athletes are excited to express their gratitude and appreciation for making their Jayhawk journey one they will remember fondly for the rest of their lives.
“The members of the Williams Education Fund do so much for Kansas Athletics and we are excited to be able to show our appreciation to them,” Ryan White, senior associate athletics director for development said. “The support of the Williams Education Fund members is instrumental in providing scholarship dollars, operational support and facility enhancements that have a lasting impact for all those who don the crimson and blue.”
This year’s Thank You Week will spotlight the experiences of four KU student-athletes and how they were directly affected by the generous contributions of Williams Education Fund members.
