THON Weekend 2027 Scheduled For February 19 Through 21

We dance in 238, folks!

THON Weekend 2027 will take place from Friday, February 19, through Sunday, February 21, at the Bryce Jordan Center, the organization announced Friday.

Last year’s THON was record-breaking, raising $18,841,726.53 For The Kids. It broke the previous record of $17,737,040.93 from THON 2025.

Since the start of Four Diamonds and THON’s partnership in 1977, the pair have raised over $237 million, not including this year’s fundraising efforts. Penn State students will continue to dance every year until we can dance in celebration of a cure, For The Kids.

In March, THON named Lauren Mellas as its executive director for THON 2027. Before joining the executive board, Mellas served as a graphic design captain in 2024 and 2025 and on a first-year committee in 2023.
