THON 2013 Important Dates, No Spring Canning

THON 2012

Yesterday’s THON Newsletter announced the important dates for the THON 2013 season. There will only be three canning weekends, and they all will take place during the fall semester. This major change is most likely in response to last year’s occurrence and the dangers of traveling in the winter weather. Here are the dates:

  • Canning Weekend #1: September 28-30, 2012
  • Canning Weekend #2: October 19-21, 2012
  • Canning Weekend #3: November 9-11, 2012
  • THON 5K: October 13, 2012
  • THON Weekend: February 15-17, 2013
