HVSEA To Host ‘See Her Win’ Event

The Happy Valley Sports & Entertainment Alliance and Teammates For Life, a Penn State women’s athletics initiative, will host a new festival called See Her Win this coming Memorial Day weekend.

The girls-only event will take place at Penn State. It is designed for middle and high school athletes from across the region and will feature competitions in flag football, field hockey, lacrosse, rugby and wheelchair basketball. Details around schedules and registration will be made available at a later date.

HVSEA Executive Director Eric Engelbarts called the new festival “a powerful expression” of his group’s mission to “elevate Happy Valley through sports and entertainment that enrich quality of life, create meaningful economic impact, and raise the visibility of our region. By championing girls’ athletics through inclusive competition, mentorship and leadership development at Penn State, See Her Win strengthens our community today while inspiring the next generation of athletes and leaders for years to come.”

Teammates for Life was founded in 2023 by former Penn State field hockey coach Char Morett Curtiss, a member of the HVSEA board of directors. “I am thrilled to be a part of HVSEA’s new adventure, See Her Win, an athletic gala celebrating young girls having fun playing on the athletic fields of Penn State,” Morett Curtiss said. “This one-of-a-kind event is about inspiring, promoting and supporting girls to build confidence, leadership, and new friendships through sport!”

Among the event’s partners are Unrivaled Sports, Tenacity Project and The Happy Valley Adventure Bureau.
