WICHITA, Kan. – Wichita State University Athletics and the Shocker Baseball program are proud to announce a $600,000 planned gift – restricted to future support of the baseball program - by 2014 National College Baseball Hall of Fame inductee and former Shocker head coach Gene Stephenson.
In addition to the planned gift, Gene Stephenson has committed $20,000, as an annual gift to the Wheat Shock Collective, intended to supplement Name, Image & Likeness (NIL) opportunities for Shocker Baseball student-athletes. By successfully matching Coach Stephenson's annual minimum $20,000 commitment to Shocker Baseball NIL, Shocker Nation can help secure consistently strong annual contributions to NIL, allowing Shocker Baseball to retain and recruit elite-level talent.
