During Penn State basketball's Team Ream Day, the Team Ream Board of Directors presented Melissa Aungst, senior gift officer, Mount Nittany Health Foundation, with a check for $30,000. This incredible gift will help cancer patients afford their treatments and live more comfortably as they navigate their cancer journey.

We are focusing on making life a little easier for patients by easing the everyday stress of fighting cancer. We are proud to partner with Mount Nittany Health Foundation to help patients and cancer survivors focus on getting better."

The Fund provides financial assistance to help defray the unpredictable and sometimes overwhelming cost of treatment. With the addition of this gift Team Ream has donated over $226,000 to Mount Nittany Health Foundation's Team Ream Fund.

"We are delighted to partner with Team Ream," shares Simon Corby, executive director of Mount Nittany Health Foundation. "Their generosity has touched thousands of lives over the years, providing comfort to those facing this challenging disease."
