Fundraising Committee

The apartment committee is in charge of setting up the players apartments at the beginning of the season, and cleaning them out at the end of the season. There is considerable lifting, climbing of stairs, and heavy work involved in this. The apartment committee work is the heaviest at the beginning and end of the season.

Hospitality Committee

The mission of the Player Sponsor Program is to foster new, and strengthen existing relationships between the WTBC, the Thunder Players, Coaches and other Thunder Staff Members through responsible and appropriate social interaction. It is also to provide a safe and comfortable environment for the players while they become a part of the Wichita Community. To become a Player Sponsor family, you must be a member of the WTBC for at least one year. The players will choose if they wish to participate in this program. This committee is responsible for distributing information to the players at the beginning of the season and during trades. This committee meets to go through the selection process. After the selection process is done, we inform the player/sponsor family and the player of their selection. We will also contact new players as they arrive during the season and allow them to participate in the program as well.
