San Diego University of Kentucky Alumni Club

Hope you are well #BBNSD! On this Giving Tuesday, please consider donating to our scholarship fund. It goes to a deserving UK student from our local area. We are also starting a fundraising drive to endow a permanent scholarship from these funds! We appreciate your support - stay safe and we hope we can see each other soon. https://uky.networkforgood.com//15590-san-diego-alumni-clu

If you can't be there, at least your cutout can! https://ukathletics.com//mens-basketball-uk-athletics-to-o

Thanks to all of the vets in BBNSD and beyond!

Everyone please welcome Tristan Cook-Ziegler, John Garlasco, and Jon Simpson, who have volunteered to serve as #BBNSD club officers! Jay Hornback, Kim Kent, and Tom Malloy are on the board (there are more spots available for anyone interested). We have some exciting announcements coming soon - stay tuned!

Hey #BBNSD! We are trying to determine if it is feasible to host a socially-distanced football watch party for the upcoming season. Please fill out this short 3 question survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QXPLHRB

As you may know, today is #OneDayforUK, the university-wide annual giving drive that lasts 24 hours. We are also announcing that we have accepted a challenge from the UK Alumni Association to create an endowed scholarship of $25,000 to be raised in the next five years. Our new club leaders have some great ideas for events that will help us reach that goal. We appreciate all of your support over the years to our 'general' scholarship, and hope you will consider donating to our endowed fund linked below, or one of the other worthy scholarships found on ukalumni.net. https://uky.networkforgood.com//15590-san-diego-alumni-clu

Wishing we could all be together tomorrow for Derby Day! Here are some fun at-home ideas, recipes etc. https://www.kentuckyderby.com/party Hope y’all are staying safe and healthy. ... Please reach out to the club if you need assistance: [email protected] Go cats! -Kim

Hope everyone is doing well! We're looking for new volunteers to fill all positions as officers: President, President-Elect (aka VP), Secretary, Treasurer, and multiple board positions. We hope to get as many new officers involved as possible, and anyone that has served in the past is welcome to as well. Don't worry about the time commitment because Jay Hornback and Kim Kent will be right there with you to help run the club. If you are interested please reach out to us for details.

We love our Dirty Birds!!

A message from the UKAA Executive Director: Dear Big Blue family - during this unparalleled and challenging time, all of us have seen our daily lives altered due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to the challenges our students are facing at this time, we’ve heard from alumni and friends who want to help. The Basic Needs and Persistence Fund is the primary mechanism at UK to help students through this unprecedented time. The united support through a gift to this fund provides urgently needed tools and encouragement to our students and their families. Thank you for remaining steadfast in your communities across our nation as we honor our mission as the University of, for, and with Kentucky. https://lnkd.in/ezUtdDH #kentuckyalumni

We hope everyone is safe during this time. We know some of you may be living alone here in San Diego or live far away from family and friends. We wanted to make sure everyone knows even though we may not have basketball right now we are still a UK family! If anyone is need of help or assistance please feel free to message this page or reach out to us at [email protected].

Happy birthday, UK!
