Calling all Paterno Fellows and Paterno Fellows Aspirants – Volunteers Needed! The Paterno Fellows program is partnering with Sue Paterno and the Special Olympics of Centre County to help organize the annual Beaver Stadium Run.
The 5k run/walk, traditionally held on Blue and White weekend, will take place on Sunday, April 17, 2011. To help get the word out and raise awareness for the race, we are looking for volunteers to help us on Saturday, October 30 before the Penn State vs. Michigan game. A tent will be set up between the stadium and the Bryce Jordan Center from roughly 11am – 5pm. Volunteers are needed to staff the tent as well as walk through the tailgating fields. Both groups would be handing out flyers and pre-registration forms, and gathering contact information from potential participants. Anyone who gives his or her contact information will automatically be entered into a raffle to win a Joe Paterno autographed football and a PSU Women’s Volleyball team signed volleyball. Donations for the Special Olympics of Center County will be accepted and Special Olympics apparel will also be for sale. Volunteers will work in shifts, and we only need an hour or two of your time to make the race a success!
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Lydia Scott at LHS5027@psu.edu by Monday, October 25.
Please expect to attend an informational meeting on Wednesday, October 27.
