THON (aka Penn State Dance Marathon)

K.I.C.K.S. & F.L.I.C.K.S.

Welcome to the largest student-run philanthropy in the world, the Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon (THON™)! THON is a year round fundraising event benefiting The Four Diamonds Fund, Conquering Childhood Cancer, at the Penn State Children's Hospital in Hershey, PA. The year culminates in a no-sitting, no-sleeping, 46-hour dance marathon held every February. Since 1973, the students of THON have raised over $80 million and have helped thousands of children and families fight pediatric cancer.

Kids In Cooperation with Karing Students (K.I.C.K.S.) was started in 1987 by the Omega Chapter in memory of our brother, David P. Ferro. This soccer tournament is held annually in the Fall for the Penn State community in order to fundraise towards the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Western Pennsyvlania. Each year we hope to raise enough money to sponsor at least one child's wish.

FLICKS is our annual ultimate frisbee philanthropic event that donates its proceeds to the CASA Foundation.
