In what is the culmination of an entire year of fundraising for the Four Diamonds Fund, dancers stood up in the Bryce Jordan Center on Friday night to officially kick off THON 2015. They won't get another chance to sit on the arena floor until 6 p.m. on Sunday after 46 straight hours of dancing.
Tweeting Friday to her 12.9 million followers, the reality star sent her best wishes to all the Penn Staters participating in THON this weekend.
THON 2015 dancer Roshan Promisel shares her motivations. She will be attending her grandfather's funeral the day after THON.
Gate A officially opened at 4:10 p.m. for the weekend. The scanned wristband system was quickly abandoned by R&R.
THON is a verb, adjective, and pronoun, but it's harder to explain than almost anything else unless you physically experience it.

Four hours before 708 dancers will rise to their feet for the weekend, Four Diamonds founder Charles Millard addressed the press to discuss THON 2015. Alongside him were Suzanne Graney, the director of the Four Diamonds Fund, and Megan Renaut, the Executive Director of this year's THON.
