UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; June 5, 2017 ââ'¬" Ten years ago, head coach Coquese Washington envisioned an event that would allow the Penn State women's basketball program to make a major impact in the local community and on Friday, August 18, Coquese's Drive for the Centre County Women's Resource Center will tee off at the Penn State Blue Course for its 10th anniversary event.
All proceeds from the event are donated to the Centre County Women's Resource Center, with the first nine events raising over $170,000 for the organization.
