Honors students in the Penn State DuBois Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA) program have contributed funds to help a special area boy purchase the bicycle of his dreams. The students donated $408 on Thursday to 16-year-old Brandon Druzak of DuBois, Pennsylvania, and his father, Steven. Brandon lives with cerebral palsy, and requires a specially built bicycle in order to ride. The bike costs around $1,000 total.
