Annual Fund-raiser Brings Penn State Creamery to Erie
The Penn State Behrend Alumni Society is offering Erie residents two opportunities to delight in Penn State’s Berkey Creamery ice cream this summer. The legendary Creamery ice cream, which is so fresh that only four days elapse from cow to scoop, is available in a range of 14 flavors and three sizes for the two events. Proceeds from the annual fund-raiser benefit the Penn State Behrend Alumni Scholarship Fund.

Since its inception in 1987, the Penn State Behrend Alumni Society has developed a variety of programs and activities for alumni to continue their relationship with the college. The society organizes the annual reunion and networking events, facilitated the creation of an endowed scholarship to provide students with another source of financial aid, and serves as a resource for alumni, faculty and staff alike.
