Centurions NOW - January 8, 2024
SAVE THE DATE! CENTURIONS HOMECOMING RECEPTION
Mark your calendars for the highlight of the Centurions alumni calendar! Join us for an unforgettable evening at the annual Homecoming reception on Thursday, February 29, 2024 from 5-7:30 p.m. taking place at the world's first stadium built for a professional women's sports team — CPKC Stadium.
Connect with Centurions friends and be among the first to experience the groundbreaking CPKC Stadium before it opens to the public. Enjoy a casual, come-and-go event with refreshing drinks, delightful appetizers, and ample time to catch up with fellow Centurions Actives and Alumni. Don't forget the silent auction, where you can bid on exciting items to support the DEI Legacy Scholarship.
Proceeds from this event support the DEI Legacy Scholarship which covers the full cost of tuition and trip for a professional in each cohort from a traditionally underrepresented group who is working to create equity within Kansas City. Stay tuned for additional information, including a link to register.
