Tonight at the Bryce Jordan Center, Penn State Men's Basketball will face off against #16 Illinois in its 3rd of 5 consecutive games against ranked opponents.
In addition to the intrigue that comes with playing a quality opponent, the game has added value in that all student ticket sales will go towards THON.
Tickets are $5. You can purchase on at the HUB today, or at the door tonight. So make sure you bust out your fanny packs, crazy colors and big pink Atlas hat (if you're lucky enough to have one), and head to the BJC at 9:00 to cheer on the team.
This afternoon, the Penn State IFC-Panhellenic Dance Marathon, known to all as THON, released its summary of fundraising efforts for the 2010 fiscal year. Check out the numbers after the jump.
Interfraternity Council President Max Wendkos sent out a statement Sunday evening summarizing his views on THON's removal of its official name from canning materials, a story we reported Thursday evening.
Last week, THON announced that it would be updating its canning materials to make them more immediately recognizable to the general public.
What THON didn't announce at the time was that it also removed the organization's official name from canning materials.
Starting today, five percent of the ticket sales for the Penn State vs. Indiana football game, up to $150,000, will be donated to THON 2011 by the Washington Redskins.
This Friday, THON organizations Atlas, Ohana, and Springfield will unite to kick off the fundraising season for the 2011 IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon with an arm wrestling tournament.
