Commissioners proclaim Sports Hall of Fame Day and Day of Caring in Centre County
Summary
The board adopted two proclamations: Proclamation 48 designating Oct. 20, 2024 as Centre County Sports Hall of Fame Day, and Proclamation 49 designating Oct. 3, 2024 as Day of Caring, accompanied by presentations from organizers and banquet registration details.
The Centre County Board of Commissioners adopted two ceremonial proclamations and heard presentations from organizers.
Keith Bierle, president of the Centre County Sports Hall of Fame, outlined 11 inductees to be honored Oct. 20 at the Penn Stater Hotel and Conference Center and provided brief biographies of select inductees, including three female honorees and several former Penn State athletes. Bonnie Burris (secretary) described banquet logistics, registration and the Oct. 10 registration cutoff. Commissioner Concepcion moved and the board adopted Proclamation 48 naming Oct. 20, 2024 Sports Hall of Fame Day in Centre County.
Representatives from Centre County United Way described the Day of Caring, a 31-year volunteer event that places volunteers at nonprofit worksites for maintenance and improvement projects. Presenters said the program expects roughly 45 sites and about 1,500 volunteers and highlighted sustained community support and corporate sponsorships that keep operating costs separate from donations. The board moved and adopted Proclamation 49 proclaiming Oct. 3, 2024 as Day of Caring in Centre County.
Both proclamations were adopted by voice vote. Organizers were invited to the dais for photos and to share registration information with the public.
