Wingnuts Community Benefit (Wingnuts Community Foundation)
The idea to help give back to the community through an event of this nature was spearheaded by the Wingnuts team’s three owners; Nate Robertson, Steve Ruud, and Gary Austerman. The format of the event is designed to allow the Wingnuts to develop a long-lasting relationship with a large group of non-profit organizations in the area and to help them raise much needed funds. Some of the non-profits included are Make-A-Wish Kansas, Down-Syndrome Society of Wichita, Alzheimer's Association, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Girls on the Run, YMCA, Leukemia-Lymphoma Society, and Susan G. Komen.
