Champion of Character: Toby Graves, KU
Toby displays the NAIA 5 core values on a daily basis in school, golf, and life. He is a great role model for all of the student-athlete's on our team, he is a pleasure to coach and be around. Toby is always eager to volunteer his time in the community with several organizations through out the school year. Furthermore, in England Toby has organized a charity golf event that has helped raise thousands of dollars towards charity, this summer he hopes to grow the charity golf event to raise more money than last year and I'm sure he will because he consistently displays the NAIA 5 core values.
