Joe Paterno’s Family to Donate $1.5-Million From His State Pension
May 23, 2012
The family of Joe Paterno, the Pennsylvania State University coach who died in January, plans to give $1.5-million of his $13.4-million state pension to charity, according to the Associated Press.
The money will be directed toward charities that are related to the university or operate in State College, Pa., where it’s located.
Mr. Paterno worked for the university for 61 largely successful years, but his last year was marred by an investigation surrounding his former assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky, who was arrested on 40 counts of child sexual abuse.
