Statement from the Josh Palmer Fund on the Return of the Mansfield University Mountaineers Pigskin Classic:
The Josh Palmer Fund and Mansfield University are proud to announce the return of the Mansfield University Josh Palmer Fund Pigskin Classic, taking place on September 21st. The Mounties will open their 2024 season against the United States Naval Academy at Karl Van Norman Field with a 1:00 P.M. kickoff.
Founded by the Palmer family after their son Josh’s courageous battle with Hodgkin’s disease, the Josh Palmer Fund was established to provide support and resources for young cancer patients. Since its inception, the fund has raised over $1.5 million to aid local cancer patients in their fight against the disease.
Josh’s inspiring story and the efforts of his family have been featured nationally in prominent publications, including USA Today, NCAA News, and the NCAA Division II National Championship game program. His journey has resonated with people across the country.
Join us on September 21st as Mansfield University welcomes the Midshipmen of Navy to Karl Van Norman Field for their season opener. We invite you to support local cancer patients and be a part of this special event.
