An Evening with Ted Owens & Friends, a recent fund-raising event for Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, raised more than $50,000.
The Nov. 4 event, which featured former Kansas University basketball coach Ted Owens and coach Bill Self, was attended by about 450 people. Several former KU basketball standouts who played for Owens during his 19 years at KU also shared stories.
The money raised is for the Bert Nash Center Endowment Trust Fund, which supports community outreach services that promote wellness and early detection of mental health concerns warranting professional help.
