UPDATE: The 2016 THON has ended and it was announced that this year they raised $9,770,332.32!

The annual Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon, simply known as THON, is set to take place all weekend long at the Bryce Jordan Center on PSU's campus in State College, Pennsylvania. Since 1977, the event has raised over $127 million for the Four Diamonds Fund at Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital helping to fight childhood cancer and raise awareness. Last year alone, it raised $13.03 million with 96% of funds going to the charity. THON is the largest student-run philanthropy in the world with over 15,000 volunteers. Donations are collected year-round culminating with the 46-hour dance marathon. I'm sure you've seen PSU students out canning at an intersection near you during a weekend or two. Over 700 students will participate as official "dancers" during the no-sitting, no-sleeping marathon. They will be supported by 10's of 1,000's who circulate in and out of the BJC during the event. The dance marathon will end on Sunday at 4 p.m. with the reveal of this year's total.

You can still donate and be included in this year's total before Sunday. Go to http://donate.thon.org/ to give to THON now!
