Students will be dancing all weekend long for an annual fundraising event at Penn State.
It’s known as THON and it officially begins tonight at 6 p.m. The weekend-long dance marathon benefits the Four Diamonds Fund—which is a student-run group that helps support cancer research at Penn State Children’s Hospital.
Over 700 Penn State students are expected to be on the dance floor for the 46 hour marathon.
Since THON’s inception in 1973, the event has raised $240 million.
