‘THON Week’ Declared In Pennsylvania
The Pennsylvania State Senate introduced and unanimously adopted a resolution that officially designates February 17 through February 23 “THON Week” across the Commonwealth.
Senator Tom Killion (R-Chester and Delaware) introduced the bill February 3, and it was unanimously approved by the Senate that day.
THON has consistently inspired support from legislators at the local and state level. Mayor Ron Filippelli once again renamed State College the “City of THON” for the 46 hours during which dancers will remain standing and awake in a tradition that began in 2015.
Legislators also typically make frequent appearances at THON: Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey visited the Bryce Jordan Center in 2017 while representative Kerry Benninghof spoke to dancers last year.
Casey and Co. have also officially recognized THON through Senate resolutions, as well.
