UNIVERSITY PARK, PA. - The Penn State Lady Lion basketball team will kickoff its Pink Zone at Penn State fundraising campaign with a Hoop Shoot prior to the Penn State-Ohio State football game. The Hoop Shoot, which will be located outside of the All Sports Museum (near gate B), will take place from 3-7 p.m. Members of the Lady Lions will be on hand from 4-5 p.m.
The Hoop Shoot gives fans the opportunity to shoot one free throw for $1 or shoot six free throws for $5. With a made shot, fans will win a prize and will be registered to win the grand prize of an iPad mini. All funds raised on Saturday will go directly to the Pink Zone fundraising efforts.
The 2015 Pink Zone at Penn State will take place on Sunday, March 1 as the Lady Lions take on Wisconsin in the Bryce Jordan Center. The time for the Pink Zone game will be determined in early 2015. Last year, the Lady Lions donated a record $310,000 to breast cancer causes. This year's fundraising efforts will benefit the Mount Nittany Medical Center, Penn State Hershey Cancer Institute, Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition, the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, J.C. Blair Memorial Hospital and Lewistown Hospital. For more information on the Pink Zone at Penn State, visit the official Pink Zone website at www.pennsylvaniapinkzone.org.
