KU Watch Party + Holiday Toy Drive

Calling all Portland Jayhawks! Join us for a thrilling evening of basketball and holiday spirit! We're hosting a KU watch party for the big game vs Creighton, and this year, spread holiday cheer through our seasonal toy drive initiative.

Event Highlights:

Holiday Cheer: Bring a children's toy, book, or board game to donate to our first annual toy drive and receive a free pass to the Adidas employee store! The toys will benefit the KGW Great Toy Drive. We are collecting gifts for kids ages 0-18, with a particular need for donations for kids ages 0-2 and 13-18, as these age groups are often underrepresented.

Education and creative toys are encouraged. Sports gear, balls and shoes are especially appreciated for teens.

Ugly Sweater Contest: Wear your favorite ugly sweater or festive KU gear and enter to win Best Dressed Jayhawk! Prizes will be awarded to the top Jayhawks.

Game Watch: Cheer on your favorite team as we screen the game live! Enjoy snacks, drinks, and the company of fellow fans as we root for victory together. Food and beverage available for purchase at Satellite Tavern.

Community Connection: Let’s celebrate the holiday season and the spirit of teamwork. Bring your friends and family—everyone is welcome!

Come for the game, stay for the community spirit! Let's make this holiday season brighter for those who need it most, all while celebrating our Kansas Basketball heritage. See you there, Rock Chalk Jayhawk!
