About us
THON is the world’s largest student-run philanthropy, engaging more than 16,000 students and over 25,000 alumni 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 $167 million for THON’s sole beneficiary, Four Diamonds at Penn State Children’s Hospital, funding comprehensive care and critical research.

The annual THON Football game is on September 7 against Bowling Green! We are looking for Penn State fans to donate their tickets to Four Diamonds Families. You can make a direct impact on the lives of children and families impacted by childhood cancer by donating your tickets so they can have a memorable day cheering on our Nittany Lions! Instructions for transferring tickets can be found here: https://lnkd.in/eZp9v2AK Transfer the tickets to “Libby Stone”, email: [email protected]. If you are a season ticket holder, you can transfer those seats OR purchase tickets in a set of 4 (or more) for the game to transfer.
