'Community Cup' Awarded to Penn College for 5K Participation

Penn College's representation at Saturday's Community Challenge 5K Walk/Run at Williamsport Area High School, which raised more than $8,000 to support the Lycoming County Salvation Army, reached award-winning proportions. The event attracted more than 140 registrants and about 50 spectators and volunteers ... and the college's role in that was enough to bring home the Community Cup, the traveling trophy presented to the organization that had the greatest impact/participation at the event. The Lycoming County Salvation Army helps approximately 400 area families each month; proceeds from the race will be used to sustain local support programs such as tutoring, mentoring, food distribution, and financial planning and budgeting courses.
