ALTOONA, Pa. Longtime philanthropic leaders Steve and Nancy Sheetz have made a new gift to Penn State Altoona totaling $2.7 million. The couple, who were named the University’s Philanthropists of the Year in 2010, have deepened their commitment to the Sheetz Fellows Program, which offers mentorship, special programming and financial support to Penn State Altoona students with the capacity to lead and serve in the local community and beyond. The Sheetz gift will also create the first fund at the campus for students facing financial emergencies, as well as an endowment targeted to Ivyside Eats, a program that addresses food insecurity among Penn State Altoona students.
