THON Executive Director and good guy Ryan Patrick was the "prize" of the night -- especially after this lip-sync performance to "I Want it That Way" by the Backstreet Boys. That alone was worth the $150 someone paid to go on a date with him.
This Wednesday, the battle for Mr. and Mrs. THON is on, but this year's pageant includes a new twist.

It's the day we've been waiting for for the whole year! Well, okay, it's not THE day, but we live in a world where THON is so big that we celebrate the 100 days until it. There are tons of FTK-themed activities scheduled throughout the day, so here's the schedule.

Earlier this week, we published a list of the 100 Reasons Why We Still Are Penn State. One of the most incredible reasons is THON, with over 15,000 students participating in the ubiquitous philanthropy every year. With THON only 100 days away on February 15, we bring to you a list of the 100 reasons why the organization means so much to so many people. These are truly the reasons "Why We Dance" -- all for the kids!
