For the 20th consecutive year, the Coaches Versus Cancer Golf Tournament will take place at the Penn State Golf Courses. Penn State men’s basketball head coach Pat Chambers plays host for the the fundraising event.

The annual golf tournament is the marquee event in a year-round fundraising list of events that Penn State’s Coaches Versus Cancer program runs. The program has already raised $2.5 million this year.

Former Penn State coaches Jerry Dunn and Bruce Parkhill both had a major impact on the program and will be there Friday. Parkhill founded Penn State’s chapter of Coaches Versus Cancer in 1995 and Dunn oversaw the first golf tournament fundraiser in 1997.

A number of notable former players from the Nittany Lion program will be participating in the festivities on Friday including Brian Allen, Dave Angstadt, Wally Choice, Nick Colella, Joe Crispin, Jon Crispin, Chuck Crist, Pete Lisicky, Kevin Montminy, Tyler Smith, Jarrett Stephens, and Alan Wisniewski. Five-time NBA Champion Ron Harper will also be on hand.
