We are proud to partner with the Drake University women’s basketball program to celebrate CHARACTER COUNTS! Day with Drake Women’s Basketball! Each year, we pack the Knapp Center with more than 5,000 students for a home game to celebrate good character, health, and wellness.
This year’s game will take place at 11 a.m. on Monday, December 16th, 2024. We are offering a FREE t-shirt for every registered attendee! Busing grants are also available and are based on the number of attendees, filled on a first-come, first served basis. The game is open to K – 8th students only.
We have reached capacity! If you would like to be added to the waitlist for this game, please contact Megan at megan.wesselink@drake.edu with your school name and the total amount of seats you are requesting for both students and chaperones.
Here are a few activities to enhance the educational value of the game.
