STATE COLLEGE, Pa. --
Special Olympics of Pennsylvania says it has received about $80,000 donations in memory of the late Penn State coach Joe Paterno.
Paterno died Jan. 22, less than three months after being diagnosed with lung cancer.
In lieu of flowers or gifts, his family had requested donations be made to Special Olympics or the Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon, which benefits pediatric cancer research and care. That event begins Friday.
Special Olympics president Matt Aaron said this week some donations to his charity came from other schools, while others came from individuals in the amount of $61, in honor of the number of years Paterno worked at Penn State.
Paterno's wife, Sue, is one of the lead organizers for the Special Olympics' Summer Games in June, held on the Penn State campus.
