THON 2007 Update
Thousands of Penn State students are working hard to prepare for this month's big event. The 34th annual Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon (Thon) is only a few weeks away, and everyone is committed to topping last year's impressive total. Thon 2006 raised over $4.2 million to support the children who benefit from the Four Diamonds Fund.
For The Kids
As you may know, Thon benefits the Four Diamonds Fund at Penn State Children's Hospital and provides over 80 percent of the Four Diamonds Fund's annual income.
The Four Diamonds Fund offsets the cost of treatments that insurance does not cover, as well as other expenses that may disrupt the welfare of the child, such as car repairs, rent, or household utilities. The Fund also supports the medical team that cares for the children and funds pediatric cancer research through start-up grants and the Four Diamonds Pediatric Cancer Research Institute. Many Hearts, One Home
Thon begins Friday, February 16 at 6:00 p.m. in the Bryce Jordan Center at University Park and will run until Sunday, February 18 at 4:00 p.m.
