“The Greater Louisville UK Alumni Club is pleased to once again host an exciting Pep Rally prior to the Cats taking on Appalachian State,” said club president Susan Mountjoy. “Please join us for the pre-game festivities as we get revved up to cheer the Cats on to victory.”
“We are excited to partner with the local UK Alumni Club again this year for this fun Pep Rally,” said Lightyear founder, president and CEO Sherman Henderson. “It will be a great event, so come early to receive a free UK flashing button from Lightyear.”
