More than 200 survivors representing over 1,000 combined years of survivorship were in attendance — continuing a tradition for the first-of-its kind event.
The Lady Lion basketball program became the first Division I program in the nation to wear pink uniforms in support of breast cancer awareness on Feb. 4, 2007. PA Pink Zone has honored over 5,200 survivors in Penn State’s annual Pink Zone game since its inception 17 years ago.
