Pasta Night FTK

Location: Abba Java Coffee House

Event Description: Pasta night was held in Abba Java Café, raising $689.41 for Penn State THON, with a large turnout of 80 students. The food was donated from three grocery stores, with an entrance fee of $5 per person, it was a great way to have an all-you-can-eat dinner with great food, benefitting a great cause. It was one of PSMA’s first yearly fundraisers to help the THON division, and was one of the most successful.
