THON 2014 In 60 Tweets
If you followed us on Twitter this weekend, we probably clogged your timeline between @OnwardState and @THONwardState. While we do apologize for taking over your Twitter feed, we had a ton of fun documenting THON 2014, culminating in a record $13,343,517.33 raised For the Kids.
Just like last year, we compiled some of our favorite tweets from THON Weekend. We hope that you enjoy remembering the historic weekend!
THON is today!!!
