Rock Chalk Ball – Jayhawks and Juleps

Laura and Todd Sutherland were the chairmen, and Steve Doocy, a 1979 KU graduate and host of Fox and Friends, served as the emcee of the 19th annual Rock Chalk Ball,  “Jayhawks and Juleps.” The Derby-style event was held by the KU Alumni Association and its Kansas City Chapter at the Overland Park Convention Center. Proceeds support the outreach programs of the Alumni Association.
