We Want To Hear Your Best THON Memories

This year is THON’s 50th anniversary, and we can’t help but reflect on all of the memories made over the years.

The location of the annual dance marathon has called the HUB, White Building, Rec Hall, and Bryce Jordan Center home over the years. So far, THON has raised more than $190 million toward the fight against pediatric cancer, and thousands of Penn Staters have danced for a cause.

Now, we want to hear about your best memories from THON throughout the last 50 years. Tell us about your favorite performers, beloved line dance lyrics, or even the time you held your frat’s oversized letters for 20 hours straight. Fill out the form below to potentially be featured on Onward State!
