How To Follow Our THON 2021 Coverage

**Disclaimer** — The featured image above is not from THON 2021. It was taken in February 2020 before the coronavirus pandemic. This weekend, THON dancers, volunteers, and supporters are at home and attending virtually.

Today, we dance For The Kids.

That’s right, baby. It’s finally THON Weekend, and although dancers are tuning in from their living rooms this time around, we’re in for a busy few days.

A year’s worth of virtual fundraising will culminate as 592 Penn State students dance for 46 34 hours from home. Although the Bryce Jordan Center may be mostly empty, thousands of students and volunteers are working around the clock to support dancers and keep THON rolling along. Plus, local bands and even a few national acts will chip in some performances.

This year, Onward State isn’t on press row. We’re blogging from home, baby! But we’re still profiling dancers, interviewing volunteers, and providing you with up-to-the-minute coverage of THON 2021.
