What is THON?

Penn State's Dance Marathon, (aka THON) is a 46 hour no-sitting, no-sleeping dance marathon held every February to celebrate an entire year of fundraising for the Four Diamonds Fund, an organization that helps families who have children conquering pediatric cancer. The funds pay for research, tests, and other supportive expenses, such as transportation to and from treatment. In 2012 alone, PSU students and alumni raised over $10 MILLION with your help! How incredible is that?!?
