Hey KVKL’ers!
Get ready to lace up your shoes/cleats and perfect your place kicks because the Kaw Valley Kickball 2025 season is officially ON! We’re beyond excited to welcome you back for another year of fun, friendly competition, and community spirit.
We’re thrilled to announce your 2025 Co-Commissioners: Elizabeth Karr and Clint Curtiss! They’re ready to lead us into another fantastic season. And we’re even more excited to share that our entire 2024 board is returning! A huge thank you to Kal McClure, Shawn Meredith, Mike Zubelewicz, Katie Keating, Sean Donnelly, Avery Brow, and Derek Davis for their continued dedication to KVKL.
This year is extra special as we celebrate our new 501(c)(3) status! This means we can do even more to support our community and make KVKL the best it can be. Speaking of community support, we’re proud to announce that we’re doing something a little different with our charity giving this season. We received so many incredible suggestions from you all, that we couldn’t pick just one! For the 2025 season, we will have two main charities:
Our main fundraising efforts for the season will be split among these organizations. We’re also looking at ways to get KVKL involved in summer events like the Lawrence Pride parade and Juneteenth festival. In addition to these organizations, we’re spreading the love to several community groups through our events like the spring tournament, yard sale, and pub crawl.
Get ready for some epic community giving, kickball action, new friendships, and another summer of Malort shots!
