Penn State THON™

The Penn State Dance Marathon, affectionately known as THON, is the world’s largest student-run philanthropy, engaging more than 15,000 students in the fight against childhood cancer. THON’s yearlong fundraising and awareness campaign culminates in a 46-hour no-sitting, no-sleeping dance marathon every February. Since 1977, Penn State students have raised more than $127 million for THON’s sole beneficiary, Four Diamonds at Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital, funding comprehensive care and critical research.
