Penn State York Benefiting THON honored Maddie Hill during a ceremony on campus a little more than a year ago, and shared the plaque with her family that is now displayed on the wall of the student affairs office on campus. The group will again remember Hill on Friday, Jan. 19 at a ceremony in between the women's and men's basketball games, at about 7:30 p.m.
Members of the Penn State York women's basketball team lifted the spirit of residents at SpirTrust Lutheran, The Village at Gettysburg in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, with a visit right before the holidays. The young women delivered Christmas cards they made, assisted residents in a game of shooting hoops, showed off some basketball tricks, and sang Christmas carols with the residents. They also had the opportunity to meet and talk with a 100-year-old resident who played basketball when she was in high school.
