UNIVERSITY PARK, PA. - The Penn State women's basketball team, members of the Lady Lion Cager Club, members of the Penn State student organizations and members of the community participated in the 11th annual Lady Lion Cancer Walk-a-Thon on Saturday, October 11 at the Multi-Sport Facility at Penn State. Each year the Lady Lions participate in the event, which raises thousands of dollars for the American Cancer Society.
An event-record 115 raised money for the fight against cancer. The total amount raised for the American Cancer Society will not be known until the pledges are collected later this month.
