The Kentucky Lions Eye Foundation will present the first-ever virtual Mr. and Miss Kentucky Basketball Awards Ceremony on June 28.
“While we understand that this is the safest option for everyone, we are sad that we were not able to host our 2020 Mr. and Miss Kentucky Basketball Awards as originally planned in April and although we had hoped to reschedule the event to be held in person on June 28, unfortunately this will not be possible,” said Lindy Lamkin, Kentucky Lions Eye Foundation Executive Director. “Although our Awards Ceremony is going to look a bit different this year, the meaning of the moment remains the same.
“This event is intended to recognize each of our candidates and award winners and their accomplishments on and off the basketball court over their careers.”
The Kentucky Lions Eye Foundation staff is reaching out directly to candidates, award winners and ticket holders with more information.
