Friday’s events
start with golf registration at the Penn State
Blue and White Golf Courses. Breakfast will be
served and is provided by Lead Tournament
Sponsor
Sheetz.
The tournament features a 5-man scramble format
with shot-gun starts on both the White and Blue
Courses. Last year we had over 350 golfers and
celebrities on both courses.

The golf tournament has doubled in size from
just two years ago and raised a record
contribution of more than $175,000 to help
cancer victims, much of which will stay in
Centre County and offer direct support to cancer
victims and the organizations that assist them.
"We are really excited and delighted with the
tremendous support of our sponsors, celebrities
and the community which has allowed Penn State's
Coaches Vs. Cancer organization to grow and
continue to assist so many people affected by
cancer," DeChellis. "We have a very dedicated
committee that has worked extremely hard to put
on a first-class event which continues to get
better every year."
