Jayhawks Coach Bill Self Visits Boys Town
Bill Self, Head Coach of the National Champion Kansas Jayhawks men’s basketball team, visited Boys Town May 7. Self’s visit is part of the 54th Annual B’nai B’rith Charity Sports Banquet to honor metro area high school male and female student-athletes.
“The best kids to coach are those who have gone through something hard in their life,” said Self to Boys Town athletes on hand for the event. “To grow into the person you are supposed to be, you have to go through some hard times.”
The B’nai B’rith Henry Monsky Lodge has a long-standing partnership with Boys Town. The chapter’s namesake, Henry Monsky, loaned Father Edward Flanagan $90 to begin his child care program known as Boys Town. Monsky and Father Flanagan remained lifelong friends and shared a passion for helping children in need.
