Crowdsource: We Want To Hear Your Favorite THON Memories

We dance in one week, folks!

Since 1973, THON has brought students and community members together at Penn State to raise money to fight pediatric cancer. With all the incredible events, performances, and record-breaking years that we’ve seen at the Bryce Jordan Center over the years, we can only imagine what this year will bring. 

During their 46 hours of straight standing, students have experienced some of the most unforgettable moments that they will remember for the rest of their lives. As THON 2026 approaches, we want to look back on moments from past THONs and all the milestones. 

If you have participated in or ever attended THON, we want to hear about your favorite memories. Whether it’s dropping to the floor after completing the 46 hours, hanging out with your friends, seeing the final total, or anything else that made the event memorable, we want to hear.
