Mission
THON is a family of students who raise money for a common goal: to conquer pediatric cancer. Abington has its own THON organization, but there are many organizations throughout Penn State and its several commonwealth campuses. Overall, Penn State Dance Marathon (THON) has raised over $157 million for pediatric cancer and that number will continue to grow with the countless volunteers that contribute to THON each year. The THON fundraising season culminates in a 46-hour no-sleeping, no-sitting dance marathon at University Park in February at the Bryce Jordan Center. The children that we meet who are battling/have battled pediatric cancer are the biggest heroes of all and we THON so that one day cancer will no longer exist.

"THON is a year-long event. THON is soliciting. THON is canning. THON is people. THON is dancing. THON is pain. THON is the children. Most of all, though, THON is seeing real heroes."

"One day we will dance in celebration. Until then, we'll dance for a cure." FTK ÔØû
