John Calipari planning relief tour for Wildcats in Western Kentucky

For many, destruction is still prevalent in Western Kentucky. On top of just having houses torn down by tornadoes, many lost loved ones.

John Calipari understands the pain that the region has faced. The UK athletics department and Kelly Craft have already raised over $5 million to support the rebuilding efforts so far, but Calipari isn’t content.

He’s set to use the wildly popular Wildcats to both give back and potentially bring some joy to the area.

“I don’t want anyone to forget West Kentucky and what happened out there. I haven’t been able to get out in the community because of COVID since 2019, but we’re going to make a tour, east, north, and south.
