Hokie ClubBe sure to check out the men’s basketball game between the Hokies and Penn State on Wednesday night at 9:30 p.m. on ESPN2, which is part of the annual Big Ten/ACC Challenge.
A donation of $5 from selected tickets sold for tonight’s game at Penn State will go to the Jeremy Herbstritt Fund, which was set up after the events of April 16th in honor of the former Penn State student who was doing graduate studies at Virginia Tech at the time of the tragedy. The Herbstritt family, as well as victims of the April shootings on the campus of Virginia Tech will be honored prior to the game.
The Family Clothesline will present checks totaling $110,000 to the Herbstritt Fund and the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund. The Clothesline raised funds for victims of the shootings through the sale of orange shirts honoring the Virginia Tech victims prior to Penn State's Blue-White Football scrimmage in the spring. Penn State head coach Ed DeChellis and Virginia Tech head coach Seth Greenberg will each join a player in presenting the Herbstritt family with a special commemoration from each team prior to the game.
