As the BJC awaits the arrival of dancers, spectators, and THON families, the air inside is a little hazy, thanks to some strong smoke machines stationed around the arena.
Four hours before 708 dancers will rise to their feet for the weekend, Four Diamonds founder Charles Millard addressed the press to discuss THON 2015. Alongside him were Suzanne Graney, the director of the Four Diamonds Fund, and Megan Renaut, the Executive Director of this year's THON.
Make sure you get to the BJC and support them this weekend!
Let us know where you are keeping up with this weekend's festivities.
The stage is set up, the lights are on, and captains and committee members are getting together the final touches, including some fresh decorations in the BJC. This year, THON decorated donation stations in a Harry Potter theme.
Here in State College, residents are braving the extreme cold in the streets and students are making the frigid trek to the Bryce Jordan Center for THON. It's cold enough but it doesn't begin to compare to what 30 runners are doing as part of the Hope Express, completing a frigid 135-mile marathon of sorts from the Penn State Hershel Medical Center to the Bryce Jordan Center in less than a day.
