THON
Feb 20th
Generally the stereotype is that college students are selfish and don’t give to others, but students at Pennsylvania State University have given their time to raise millions of dollars for children with cancer. On Friday afternoon, students kicked off the 37th annual Penn State Dance Marathon, known as THON.
In 1973, a small group of dedicated Penn State students held our first Dance Marathon. That year, 34 dancers participated and raised $2,000. Since then, THON’s presence in the Penn State community has grown exponentially. THON now has 15,000 student volunteers, 700 dancers, and has raised more than $61 million, benefiting The Four Diamonds Fund at Penn State Children’s Hospital.
