2026 Kathryne Pals Legacy Invitational
Friday, September 4th - Saturday, September 5th

Hosted by the University of Northwestern

#AcesForJoy

The Kathryne Pals Legacy Invitational was named in memory of 2008 Northwestern graduate and volleyball alumna Kathryne Pals (Engel). On July 31, 2016, the Pals family was traveling to their final training session in Colorado, prior to their long-term deployment to be global partners with the Christ Bible Institute in Nagoya, Japan. They were rear-ended by a semi-truck and Jamison (29), Kathryne (29), Ezra (3), Violet (23 mos.), and Calvin (2 mos.) departed to be with Jesus Christ.

Join the University of Northwestern volleyball team this season in their seventh annual Aces for Joy campaign to support those who follow in the legacy of the Pals family by bringing the gospel to unreached and unengaged peoples.
