Catbacker Clubs throughout the state help promote K-State Athletics and assist in fundraising efforts for the Ahearn Fund. Each year the Catbackers make a significant contribution to the Ahearn Fund, which provides scholarships for over 300 Wildcat Student-Athletes. Each Catbacker Club is a direct link to the K-State Athletic Department and provides a great opportunity to meet other K-Staters in your area.

Once a year the K-State Athletics Department travels to many of the Catbacker Clubs for an annual event. These events are a great opportunity for you to meet some of your favorite Wildcat coaches and student-athletes. Many locations have golf tournaments and banquets, making for a great day for Wildcats of all ages.
