In a time when people take pictures of their lunch so they can post it on social media, does it really make sense to assume that a desire to meet and or take pictures with athletes is some sort of sex thing sometimes when people take pictures of their lunch, it is some sort of sex thing. #mashedPotatoes

Wichita State offers 2 events. There is a "meet and greet" which has already happened. I missed it but I believe you had to be a member of the Match Club (not certain about this) which requires a minimum level $100 contribution.
The real event is Volleyball 101 which this year will be next Saturday. This is at least the 10th season for it. $40 per person, $500 gets you a table with 1 player, dinner, silent auction and live auction along with tons of family friendly games before Lambo talks and the team introduces themselves. They will raise $25-$50k for volleyball that night.
I'll be honest, reading through this thread was somewhat depressing. I can't imagine our young ladies are much different than any other school. These are great events. There will be 400-500 people there Saturday. Lots of kids looking up to their mentors. The team has a great time. It's a fantastic event and one of my favorite times all season in any sport. I realize Chris and Shannon are special people and we're exceedingly fortunate to have them leading our program, but the interaction with these student athletes is a joy. My daughter has looked up to them for a dozen years, and I can't imagine better role models, and she's hardly alone.

Lambo and his staff do a great job of engaging the attendees, something you just don't get with most other sports. Between the silent and live auction items and ticket sales, I estimate close to 100K was raised exclusively for volleyball last night. Priceless memories not included.

Kentucky just had one yesterday. First was a meet and greet for fans 6th grade and younger where they got to meet all the players, tour the facilities, etc. After that all fans were invited to an open practice and scrimmage where Skinner shook everyone’s hands and thanked them all for coming. Other staff members also mingled. Fans were encouraged to raise their hands and ask questions at any point. A number of players also approached fans afterwards and talked to them. It was a neat little event and I love what this program has been doing the last few years to build a community around the program.
