THON is excited to start working with its new advisors, Darcy Rameker and Jenn Mallen!
Rameker completed both her undergraduate and masters degrees at the University of San Diego. She was a Resident Director and Program Manager at her alma mater before coming to Penn State.
You embody THON for every volunteer and lead by example in so many ways. When working with the University and the professional world, Donor and Alumni Relations could always turn to you for guidance and perspective. You have helped countless leaders in THON develop in a professional way while still celebrating the student aspect of everything we do. Your unwavering support has allowed THON to get more and more people to get involved in the fight against pediatric cancer. Thank you for being a role model, a leader, and a friend.
THON is excited to announce the opening of a physical merchandise store in the HUB in May 2015!
The plan to open the store is a part of the proposed renovation and expansion of the HUB. Once the plan is approved, construction on the HUB will start in May 2013 and be completed by May 2015.
“We’re looking forward to the opportunity to better accommodate our volunteers when they purchase products benefiting THON,” said Merchandise Director Tom Bremer.
There are many new Spring Captain positions available for the first time for THON 2014! You can learn about them below:
Donor and Alumni Relations: Alumni Outreach Coordinator (1)
This Captain will work over the summer and throughout the year on alumni outreach campaigns. They will be the main point of contact for alumni chapters, and work closely with the DAR Director to brainstorm creative ideas to reach out to alumni.
New for THON 2014, the Overall Committee will be called the Executive Committee. This change is an exciting improvement that allows THON to continue being as professional as possible to our growing number of supporters.
Executive Director Ryan Patrick is looking forward to this refreshing new name. “One of my main visions for THON is to become as professional as possible and also become nationally recognized,” said Patrick.
THON is tomorrow! And so it the first HOS fundrasier for THON 2014. Come to Rita's on Beaver Ave to "Chill Out FTK!" Rita's will be donating 20 percent of the proceeds from tomorrow's sales directly to THON 2014.

This is the perfect way to reunite with your committee from THON 2013, enjoy some spring weather, and start your fundraising efforts For The Kids!
Ryan Patrick, who was the Merchandise Overall for THON 2013, will work tirelessly for the next year to help spread awareness and hope to eradicate pediatric cancer as THON 2014 Overall Chairperson.
His favorite quote, “You can’t live a perfect day unless you help someone who could never pay you back,” will bring him inspiration for the next year as he helps inspire the other 15,000 student volunteers.
This was Captain Mail that was passed along to us, thanking the Rules and Regulations Captains for 2013 for all that they do. This was written by a former R&R Captain named Joel. The leaders in red truly have a thankless job and without them THON wouldn't be what it is today.
