With THON just 11 days away, quite a few YouTube videos focused on Penn State's 46-hour dance marathon have been published. Although not released by an official THON account, we decided to share this one titled "THON 2014 - Redefined," published by YouTube user m2387, because it's incredibly well done. This user has been making awesome THON videos for years, all of which have thousands of views on his channel. So check out this most recent video, set to Avicii's "Hey Brother," and get excited to stand for 46.
My Hero Zero will join five other local dance and a cappella groups for a highlighter themed party highlighting the arrival of THON. All proceeds from the five dollar tickets will go to THON.
With THON a short 15 days away, the list of dancers who will be standing for 46 hours has just been released, and just like last year is breaking a new record. Gone are the days of the traditional 708 dancers-- this year the BJC will be home to 711 dancers during THON weekend. Earlier this year it was announced that dancer couples would become a thing of the past, allowing organizations to have an odd number of dancers for the first time in the Dance Marathon's history. A discrepancy similar to last year's that allowed for 710 dancers pushed this year's number to 711.
At last night’s third-annual Mr. and Mrs. Special Interest fundraiser, student volunteers from over 10 different orgs filled up Forum to witness Lindsey Golden and Eric Brennan of A-7 being crowned Mr. and Mrs. Special Interest.
Tonight, the Blue & White Society is hosting their second annual 46-minute dance marathon benefiting THON.
Last week, we shared the stories of three Penn State students who are dancing in THON this year. This week, we have three more stories of dancers who are 15 days away from standing for 46 hours straight.
