Despite coming to fruition only four short years ago, Boulevard has rapidly grown into both a successful and popular organization within the THON community. I was able to talk to their THON chair, senior Lauren Popko, about her organization's involvement in THON, and what it truly means to be FTK.
The line dance is arguably one of the most important and visible parts of THON. From the stretching to the lyrics, the dance is one of the biggest takeaways from the weekend. Preparing, teaching, and performing the dance can be one of the hardest jobs of THON. The honor this year goes to Dancer Relations captain Ally Zierold, so we sat down (stood up) with her for 10 questions.
With 708 dancers standing for all 46 hours of THON, it can be tough to serve all of the dancers' unique needs, whatever they may be, and feeding them is no exception. With the nearly infinite amount of dietary preferences and restrictions, getting all the dancers the exact food they need can be tricky. To complicate the process even more, all of the food served to dancers by HOS is donated, adding another barrier to accommodation.
We caught up with Alternative Funding chair Rick Jones to learn more about special interest organization Pillar and why they dance FTK.
The first proposal of THON 2015 has finally arrived! Tim Donovan proposed to his girlfriend Taylor Hennon around 1:30 a.m. this early Sunday morning.
Captains from BASD Mini-THON made the trip to Penn State for experience and inspiration in their own upcoming dance.
