WALLINGFORD — The UConn Alumni Association will host “An Evening With Champions” featuring women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma and men’s basketball coach Kevin Ollie on Tuesday, Oct. 14 at the Oakdale Theater at 7 p.m.
The event, moderated by former UConn All-American and National Player of the Year Rebecca Lobo, will use a question-and-answer format a la “Inside the Actor’s Studio.” It promises to offer a behind-the-scenes look at UConn’s dual championships in 2013-14 and the perspectives of each coach heading into the 2014-15 season.
The evening includes a dinner and cash bar. Tickets are $85 per person and table sponsorships are available. Net proceeds will support UConn scholarships.
“This is an exciting and unique opportunity for true blue Husky fans,” said Mo Cotton Kelly, executive director of the UConn Alumni Association. “Through the support of loyal Huskies, the UConn Alumni Association continues to provide scholarships to UConn students in need. What better way to celebrate our dual championships than enjoying a night of camaraderie while helping other Huskies? It’s a winning combination.”
