For The Kids, For The Fight - THON 2018

Dear Friends,

Each year, more than 16,500 Penn State students and 25,000 alumni take action in the fight against childhood cancer by participating in the world’s largest student-run philanthropy, the Penn State Dance Marathon. In 2017, THON™ raised $10,045,478.44 for Four Diamonds at Penn State Children’s Hospital, making THON’s total contribution to Four Diamonds more than $146 million since 1977. However, there is still work to be done.

Committed to spreading THON's mission, passionate students, alumni, and partners are taking the fight beyond Penn State and spreading hope to every corner of the globe. By raising funds and awareness, THON continues to provide emotional and financial support to children and families affected by childhood cancer. The THON community is also taking strides toward a cure by ensuring funding for critical research at Penn State Children’s Hospital.

This year, you have the opportunity to join us in our fight. You can take action for the kids by making a gift and spreading awareness of THON’s mission. Together, we will make a difference in the life of a child. 

Take action in the fight against childhood cancer. Every contribution brings us closer to a cure. 

For The Kids™,
