Happy Valley United to Host First Annual Golf Tournament & Reception
Featuring the Penn State football team and coaching staff, including James Franklin.
UNIVERSITY PARK, PA (Mar. 7, 2024) – Happy Valley United, the NIL collective supporting all 31 teams and over 800 Penn State student-athletes, is proud to announce that it will be hosting its first annual Golf Tournament and Reception, presented by the Hoover Family and West Shore Home.
The tournament will be held at the West Shore Country Club on April 29. It will start at 12 PM, and will be followed by a reception from 5:30 – 7 PM that will feature members of the 2024 Penn State football team, the coaching staff and lettermen, all of whom will be available to connect with fans and supporters in attendance. Happy Valley United’s Golf Tournament and Reception packages include sponsor recognition and signage, teams in the golf tournament as well as reception tickets, food and drink options.
The tournament reached over half capacity in the early registration period. Now, just a few openings remain. All proceeds from sponsor packages and reception tickets directly benefit Penn State football student-athletes' NIL through Happy Valley United.
