2026 Annual Catbackers Banquet and Auction

January 30, 2026 at the K-State Alumni Center

Stay tuned for auction updates! If you’d like to donate, please email the planning team at manhattankscatbackers@gmail.com.

To ensure our fundraising efforts meet the goal of supporting all students involved in K-State athletics and organization activities, we are working to recruit businesses and organizations as sponsors. We have four sponsor levels and will have additional opportunities to support auction donations. You can also compare all the options with our sponsorship handout here.

Have sponsorship questions? Feel free to reach out Jeff Oliphant, jlstgo5@gmail.com.
