THON, short for Penn State’s IFC/Pan-Hellenic Dance Marathon, is a 46 hour no sitting, no sleeping marathon! Over 700 dancers, and 15,000 student volunteers, raise money all year for the Four Diamonds Fund, which benefits the Penn State Hershey Children’s Medical Hospital.
Any family in the state of PA that has a child that is diagnosed with any form of cancer does not have to pay an extra penny that insurance does not cover! This is great so that the families only have to worry about their child getting better.
The event takes place every year, usually in the middle of February and this year, Penn State Student’s raised a record breaking 12.3 million dollars! That makes 100 million dollars since 1973… FTK!
