Jayhawks Give Back

Presented by

Making a Difference

Jayhawks worldwide lend their time and talents to benefit their communities. Through monetary donations and community service hours, board positions and developing new programs, KU alumni and students are committed to making their communities better.

Our Jayhawks Give Back program celebrates ’Hawks who are making a difference in ways big and small. Each quarter, we’ll feature a member of the KU family and their story. If you know a Jayhawk who should be featured in Jayhawks Give Back, let us know!

The Jayhawks Give Back program is brought to you by Andrew Wymore, senior Realtor with ReeceNichols. Andrew has partnered with KU Alumni to create the Give Back Initiative, which provides 10% of his commission to KU Alumni. Andrew specializes in the Greater Kansas City and Johnson County area; however, the Give Back program applies nationwide. Contact Andrew at 913.515.2386 or AWymore@ReeceNichols.com for more information.
