Out & About PHSC FOUNDATION ESTABLISHES BROOKE GONZALEZ SOFTBALL FUND Pasco-Hernando State College (PHSC) Foundation recently established the Brooke Gonzalez Softball Fund in memory of former student-athlete Brooke Gonzalez, with an initial donation from her family. Last year, Gonzalez was tragically killed while returning to her apartment after jogging. She was an honors student and vital to the PHSC softball team’s success, hitting .415 as the team qualified for the 2016 Regional Tournament. The Brooke Gonzalez Softball Fund will provide resources to support the women’s softball program at PHSC. Contributions to the fund may be made through the PHSC Foundation office at www.phsc.edu/foundation.
