Campus ChampionNot many 18-year-olds can raise charity money by selling the naming rights of their backyard hockey tournament to a national restaurant chain. But that’s exactly what Nick Penberthy, a first-year childhood/early childhood education major, did in creating the Tim Hortons Backyard Classic. The tournament, played on backyard rinks throughout Buffalo, raised $10,000 for a local children’s charity in its first three years. This year, Tim Hortons paid $5,000 for naming rights and Penberthy hopes to raise at least $5,000 more from the Feb. 12 tournament. For his efforts, he won a competitive scholarship worth $1,500 from Citizens Bank in December.
