Big Kev Community Giveback

Inspired by the wishes of late Kevin Weems, who always envisioned the local legends of Topeka return to the community that helped raise them. The initiative began July 2022 and is anticipated to be an annual event aimed to inspire the youth of Topeka of the potential path sports can provide for them.

Cushinberry Community Initiative

Coming this upcoming early August, named after former Highland Park principle and Topeka Community Leader, Dale Cushinberry; will be the inaugural “Dale Cushinberry Back to School Drive”.

A large group of children seated on a green indoor football field, raising their hands towards a man standing in front of them. The man is bald, wearing a white shirt and khaki shorts, and appears to be leading a discussion or activity. Several adults are standing in the background, some taking photos or watching. The setting is a spacious indoor sports facility with high ceilings and metal structures.

Showing Up in the Community

We aim to keep supporting the Topeka community. Soon, we will offer more services and events to help people.
