Annual Tailgate Fundraiser


A Virtual Evening with Penn State Football Legends

In lieu of our annual tailgate benefit event, in 2020 we hosted a virtual evening on November 6th with two Penn State Football Legends, Adam Taliaferro and Zack Mills. Proceeds raised from ticket sales and the online auction benefited THON and campus programs.


An Evening with Jay Paterno

On Thursday, September 9, 2021, the Alumni Society hosted an evening with Jay Paterno, followed by book signings of Paterno Legacy, his best-selling biography of his father and legendary coach Joe Paterno, and his new novel Hot Seat: A Year Inside College Football’s Pressure Cooker.
