Ashland University is excited to host "Kids in Sports Day" for all youth in grades PreK-5! Kids can join in the fun on Saturday, Oct. 24, from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. in Kates Gymnasium. Kids will participate in sport- and fitness- related activities in a fun, interactive environment with AU sport management students and AU student-athletes. This event is free! Drinks and snacks provided.

Donations will be collected for Team IMPACT, an organization that connects children battling serious or chronic illnesses with college athletic teams, forming lifelong bonds and life-changing outcomes.

Kids and their families are invited to continue celebrating youth sports at Jack Miller Stadium for "Youth Day" while the Eagles football team takes on Kentucky Wesleyan at 1 p.m.

The first 25 kids who arrive at "Kids in Sports Day" will receive a voucher to the concession stand at the football game!
