Event Description: Don't miss on this fundraising event for the foundation. Featured speaker Josh Swade, author of the book, "The Holy Grail of Hoops" and the DVD, "There's No Place Like Home", will talk about his thirty-nine day quest to return Dr. James Naismith's original "Rules of Basket Ball" to the University of Kansas. Due to Swade's efforts, David Booth, a billionaire who is chairman and co-CEO of a Texas mutal fund company, along with his wife, Suzanne, purchased the 119 year-old-document for over four million dollars from Sotheby's in New York. It will be housed at the DeBruce Center that adjoins the Allen Field House in Lawrence. Swade, a native of Johnson County, lives with his family in New York City where he continues his career in media productions. Tickets are $75 ($35 is tax-deductible) and sponsorships are also available. Filet mignon and cedar salmon will be served and a cash bar is available. Dress is business casual. RSVPs and payment is due by September 20. For ticket information, call Emily Baker, 913-971-6880 or email, ebaker@olatheks.org
