THON is more than just a fundraiser—it's a community of over 16,000 passionate students and 25,000 dedicated alumni coming together to support kids and families affected by childhood cancer. All year long, we work to raise money and spread awareness, leading up to our 46-hour dance marathon in February, where we dance, laugh, and stand together—literally—without sitting or sleeping, all for an incredible cause. Since 1977, we've raised over $167 million for Four Diamonds at Penn State Children’s Hospital, providing financial support for families and funding life-saving research.Every bit of support counts, and we'd love for you to be part of the THON family.
