WKU Events

Due to weather concerns on Saturday, WKU Baseball's series vs. Charlotte at Nick Denes Field has been altered. The teams will play a doubleheader on Friday starting at 3 p.m. (second game will begin approximately 30 minutes after completion of first game). The series ends at noon Sunday.

The Fifth Annual Dance Big Red student-led dance fundraising event at Western Kentucky University will be held March 29. This past March, nearly 800 students danced for 12 hours and raised over $73,000 for Norton Children's Hospital.

Since it began, Dance Big Red has raised more than $176,000 for pediatric cardiovascular services and adolescent cancer care at Norton Children’s Hospital.   A total of five high schools hosted Dance Little Reds contributing to the overall success and growth of Dance Big Red.  Join our efforts by participating as a dancer, making a donation, and/or becoming an event sponsor today!
