After the announcement of THON 2015’s Executive Director Megan Renaut was made this past week, we decided to catch up with her to find out her plans for the upcoming THON season.
THON just announced the 2015 Executive Committee. Congratulations to those selected to lead THON next year.
A month ago today, THON 2014 concluded with a record-breaking total reveal of $13,343,517.33, and tonight THON 2015 began with the announcement that Megan Renaut will lead the largest student-run philanthropy in the world for the next year.
Lights. Camera. Cure.: The Hollywood Dance Marathon had its most successful year yet, raising $80,820.59 For The Kids. The total was announced last night after a six-hour dance marathon at the Avalon Theatre in the heart of Hollywood.
While Penn State may hold a dance marathon that’s the largest student-run philanthropy in the world, it doesn’t hold the only dance marathon. There are many universities across America that fundraise in a year-long effort, have executive committees, and dance for hours on hours — just like we do — in support of all sorts of great causes. Here are a few we’ve ranked as the top fundraisers.
Applications for the THON Executive Committee are now available on THON.org under the Documents section and are due by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, March 28 in 210 HUB.
