Penn State welcomed THON's Four Diamonds families through the doors of the Lasch Football building for a fun-filled afternoon of games and ice cream.
"It's awesome to be able to bring a smile to a kid," former Nittany Lion Nate Stupar said. "The feeling around this building today was so amazing with these kids, high energy. The environment was awesome. For them to be able to see the facility, what we did when we were here playing football, it was really fun."
Several staff members and a few former Nittany Lions in NFL cheerfully greeted the families in the locker room before breaking to explore.
Stupar (New Orleans Saints) joined Anthony Zettel (Detroit Lions), Jesse James
(Pittsburgh Steelers) and Super Bowl Champion Stefen Wisniewski (Philadelphia Eagles) for the afternoon, taking time to sign autographs before a group picture.
"This is what Penn State's all about," James said. "There's not a better time to be in Happy Valley than during THON. I'm happy they invited me to come back and be involved."
Check in with Wisniewski for a quick look at a few of his thoughts following the Super Bowl victory.
