THON Weekend 2020 will be held February 21-23 in the Bryce Jordan Center.
"This year marks an important landmark in the THON community's ability to recognize the problem, but it is an uphill battle from here to find solutions."
While the decision is supposed to mitigate risk for THON volunteers traveling, in reality, it coddles legal adults, limits fundraising opportunities, and puts an undue burden on our town and gown relationship.
"THON is committed to providing opportunities for involvement and fundraising to our volunteers, alumni, and supporters despite these changes. With this decision, we recognize the need to provide alternative fundraising methods in order to engage all THON volunteers and stakeholders."
"Like any large organization, THON has flaws -- and these shortcomings are magnified by the fact that no one is willing to talk about them."
THON 2019 is only a month or so behind us, but the organization is already preparing for its next fundraising year and THON Weekend 2020.
