The Pasco-Hernando State College Foundation has established a softball fund in memory of former student-athlete Brooke Gonzalez, who died after being struck by a car last April.
The Brooke Gonzalez Softball Fund, created after an initial donation from her family, will provide resources to support the women’s softball program at PHSC.
Gonzalez, who was 19 at the time, was reportedly returning to her apartment when she was struck by a car that drove onto a sidewalk along State Road 52.
Gonzalez, of Citra, Florida, was a key member of the 2016 PHSC softball squad, batting .415 with two home runs, 20 RBIs and 13 runs scored. She was also an honors student, set to graduate in May 2016 with a 3.5 GPA.
Contributions to the fund may be made through the PHSC Foundation office at PHSC.edu/foundation.
