Calipari’s Alumni Charity Game returning to Rupp Arena this August

The University of Kentucky’s former basketball stars will return to the Rupp Arena floor this summer for Coach John Calipari’s annual alumni charity event.

Last year, Calipari turned the traditional gathering into a softball game at Whitaker Bank Ballpark because Rupp Arena was undergoing renovations.

This year, the event will again deliver basketball for charity. UK announced on its Twitter account that the game is set for Friday, Aug. 25 in Rupp Arena but released no additional details.

Proceeds from the games have gone to the Calipari Foundation plus numerous other charities through the years.
