Crowdsource: We Want To Hear About Your THON Experience

In just a few weeks, the largest annual student-run philanthropy event in the world will return to the Bryce Jordan Center.

Every year, roughly 700 students from clubs, service organizations, fraternities, sororities, independent dancer couples, and more are selected to dance on the BJC floor to raise money for pediatric cancer research.

THON 2024 raised more than $16.9 million last year, an event record, and has raised over $200 million since its inception in 1973.

If you were one of the daring few who have danced in THON, share your experiences below! Whether you filled up on too many PB&Js or had the time of your life cheering on Penn State football at the pep rally, we want to hear your unique stories and memories!
