STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Summer fun is on the schedule with two events in August benefitting the Penn State chapter of Coaches vs. Cancer. A portion of ticket sales for the Friday, Aug. 3 State College Spikes game and proceeds from the Saturday, Aug. 11 State College Brew Expo will be donated to CVC Penn State.
Since 1995, through annual events like these and other partnerships, more than $2.9 million has been raised by CVC Penn State for the American Cancer Society to support cancer research and mission programs in our local community. The goal is to surpass the $3 million mark in 2018.
