STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – Out of an abundance of caution and for the safety of the participants and volunteers, and with regard to the recommendations of government and health officials, the 2020 Coaches vs. Cancer of Penn State Golf Tournament has been cancelled. The CVC committee has plans to relaunch the event for late spring 2021.
Celebrating its 25th year this year, Coaches vs. Cancer of Penn State will remain focused on leading the fight for a world without cancer.
The 10th Annual Race Day Soirée, which was originally scheduled for Saturday, May 2, has been rescheduled for Saturday, August 29. The dates for the Fall 5K Walk/Run and "Real Men Wear Pink" breast cancer research and services fundraising campaign are to be determined. This year's Coach's Challenge has a goal of raising $50,000 by Labor Day on Monday, September 7.
Since 1995, Coaches vs. Cancer of Penn State has raised more than $3.2 million net to fund life-saving cancer research and services offered through the American Cancer Society. In addition, through a unique partnership with the local non-profit, the Bob Perks Cancer Assistance Fund, we're able to keep even more funds local to the Central PA area to help ease the financial burden of individuals and families in our community who are battling cancer so their focus is on treatment and recovery.
