For the second year in a row, Ashland University's men's basketball 212 Club will host a fundraiser featuring a well-known college basketball figure.
In 2024, the club hosted "A Night With
Bob Huggins." On Oct. 15, "A Night With
Clark Kellogg" will be presented at Mount Vernon Estates, 1041 U.S. 250 in Ashland.
"We are truly excited to host Clark Kellogg," said Ashland head coach
John Ellenwood. "The lessons he has learned from the courts of Northeast Ohio to his time at OSU, throughout his NBA career, and in the broadcast booth, Clark Kellogg has inspired millions.
"Join us for a special night with Clark Kellogg — the venue is beautiful, the dinner is delicious, meet this year's team. Every ticket purchased and every donation made helps strengthen our team financially."
Kellogg, 64, has been a college basketball analyst for CBS Sports for more than three decades. The 1982 Big Ten Most Valuable Player while playing for Ohio State, Kellogg was the Indiana Pacers' first-round pick (No. 8 overall) later that year, and made the NBA All-Rookie First Team in 1982-83.
In part of all of five NBA seasons (1982-83 to 1986-87) for the Pacers, Kellogg averaged 20.8 points, 10.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists over 260 games, and made 49.7 percent from the field and 75.7 percent from the free-throw line.
He is a member of the 2006 class of the Ohio Basketball Hall of Fame and the 2001 class of the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame.
On the night of Oct. 15, VIP cocktail hour will begin at 6, followed by the event starting at 7 – featuring cocktails, a silent raffle, tip boards, dinner, and a meet-and-greet with Eagle men's basketball coaches and players.
Cost is $1,000 for a VIP table package (seven guests per table, only 20 tables available), and $100 for an individual ticket for the event only.
Reservations will be taken through Oct. 10. Attire is business casual.
