For those who attended Thursday’s game against Central Florida, one thing stood out: the entire Shocker coaching staff wearing bright green ties.
Those green ties aren’t just for a fashion statement; it represents Coaching for Literacy (CFL).
Coaching for Literacy’s mission is to use the power of sports to raise awareness about the problem of illiteracy and generate financial support for literacy programs nationwide.
Head Coach Gregg Marshall and the Wichita State basketball team started a partnership with CFL to raise awareness about the issue of illiteracy in America and to provide support for young children struggling to read in Wichita.
