🎓Scholarship Information

The Yantis family started a scholarship endowment in 2020 for future athletes at Brad's alma mater: MidAmerica Nazarene University. The scholarship has been given to a current MNU student for the last three years. In 2023, the generosity continued as a percentage of the race funds will go towards the American Cancer Society Hope Lodge KC.
