The Greater Hazleton Chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association held its annual Nittany Night on Tuesday, June 16, at Sand Springs Country Club. Alumni and guests welcomed Penn State baseball standout and MLB Draft pick Bryce Molinaro as the featured speaker for the evening.

At the event, the Greater Hazleton Chapter presented Penn State Hazleton with a $4,000 check representing proceeds from its annual golf tournament. The gift will support the Penn State Alumni Chapter of Greater Hazleton Scholarship and Penn State Alumni Chapter of Greater Hazleton Academic Award, which has made a tremendous impact by providing financial assistance to Penn State Hazleton students as they pursue their educational goals.

Alphia, a major U.S. manufacturer of pet food and treats with a coast-to-coast network and a key location in Hazle Township, recently made a generous donation of two pallets of cat food to the Hazleton Animal Shelter.

This contribution supports the Penn State Hazleton Alumni Chapter’s annual animal drive, an initiative dedicated to helping the Hazleton Animal Shelter and the animals they serve. Through partnerships like this, the Penn State Hazleton Alumni Chapter continues to make a meaningful impact in the community.
