2024 Manhattan Catbackers Annual
Banquet & Auction
Everybody Wants to Be a Wildcat
June 14, 2024, at K-State Alumni Center
2024 Banquet & Auction-
Everybody Wants to be a Wildcat!
This year’s banquet theme is Everybody Wants to be a Wildcat, with a 20s and jazz feel. The evening will include specialty cocktails, a wide array of silent and live auction items, wine pulls, bourbon raffles and more fun games! This year’s presenting sponsors are Dan & Beth Bird and Norval & Linda Spielman, and we appreciate all their support this year and in the past.
Our evening will be hosted by the one and only Voice of the Wildcats, Wyatt Thompson, and you’ll hear from our keynote speaker, Ring of Honor Quarterback Michael Bishop.
We will be adding auction items to the website in the coming weeks. You won’t want to miss out on this great evening of purple fun!
The event will be back at the K-State Alumni Center, and registration, happy hour and the silent auction will open at 5:30 p.m.. The doors open, and the program kicks off at 6:30 and will include initial remarks before we head into the prime rib buffet dinner and an evening of fun.
Stay tuned for auction item updates! If you’d like to donate, please email the planning team at manhattankscatbackers@gmail.com. If you golfed in the tournament, please email us to get the discount code to ensure you don’t pay for your membership twice.
