Why We Dance Poem, THON 2014

For forty-one years we’ve danced;

For forty-six hours we stand.

For the final four, we forego sleep,

 To feel the reach of our helping hand.

Throughout the year we fundraise,

Through THONvelopes, THONline, and merch.

We canvass and can for those who can’t,

And support Hershey’s cancer research.

We fight to beat kid’s cancer;

We fight for long, healthy lives.

We fight for entire families;

We fight so the future may thrive.

 

 But why does Penn State do this?

Raise diamonds in the sky like stars?

Why do 15,000 students help?

Because THON is who WE ARE.

The captains sift through 365 days of highs and lows to find the moments that best capture our year at Penn State and define our experience as a nation. It might be too late to add something about President Barron, but here’s what we think made the cut.
