Starting today, five percent of the ticket sales for the Penn State vs. Indiana football game, up to $150,000, will be donated to THON 2011 by the Washington Redskins.

The game is scheduled for Nov. 20, the first Saturday of Thanksgiving vacation, and will be played at FedEx Field in Landover, Md. Tickets cost $95 and bus transportation is available.

This is a great opportunity to not only raise money for the philanthropy, but also to spread the message of THON to a crowd outside of Pennsylvania. A large number of Penn State fans is expected to be in attendance due to Washington D.C. being home to one of the largest PSU alumni networks in the country.

October 1 marks the official opening of the fundraising window for THON 2011.
