This afternoon, the Penn State IFC-Panhellenic Dance Marathon, known to all as THON, released its summary of fundraising efforts for the 2010 fiscal year. Check out the numbers after the jump.
Interfraternity Council President Max Wendkos sent out a statement Sunday evening summarizing his views on THON's removal of its official name from canning materials, a story we reported Thursday evening.
Last week, THON announced that it would be updating its canning materials to make them more immediately recognizable to the general public.

Starting today, five percent of the ticket sales for the Penn State vs. Indiana football game, up to $150,000, will be donated to THON 2011 by the Washington Redskins.
