The Pirates have announced that Friday’s game against the Houston Astros will be Penn State night, with the net proceeds from tickets sold here benefiting Penn State’s Dance Marathon Charity (THON), which raises money for childhood cancer research. Since it would be nice to have something to actually cheer for as of late in PNC Park, this promotion is a great way to take in a game and help a great charity.
↵If supporting a Penn State based charity is not your sort of thing, the game is also Pirates Beach Towel night, so there is something for everyone.
