"The goal that Success With Honor and Lions Legacy Club both have is to provide unique access for fans, alumni, and businesses to Penn State student-athletes," said Mark Toniatti, CEO of Success With Honor. "Tapping into the excitement surrounding the team and the Rose Bowl is precisely why our collectives successfully create these events."
"Our combined goals align perfectly to partner with Success With Honor for these events to provide access for Penn Staters everywhere to Coach Franklin, and these team members. As a former All-American linebacker for the football team, I know firsthand how important these bowl games are, and the Rose Bowl is about as special as it gets," said Michael Mauti, co-founder of Lions Legacy Club.
