THON is a student-run philanthropy committed to enhancing the lives of children & families impacted by childhood cancer. Our mission is to provide emotional & financial support, spread awareness, & ensure funding for critical research—all in pursuit of a cure.
The families battling childhood cancer remain at the core of our mission. THON aims to provide emotional & financial support for families supported by Four Diamonds at Penn State Health Children’s Hospital by facilitating lifelong relationships between families & volunteers, fostering a sense of community, & providing year-round support. THON strives to ensure that families remain at the heart of every volunteer’s efforts and that everything is done For The Kids.
To ensure that THON is able to donate 96 cents of every dollar raised to Four Diamonds at Penn State Health Children’s Hospital, we heavily rely on donor support. These donations provide us the resources to create endless memories for our Four Diamonds families & foster a deep love & connection to our mission for our volunteers through Pre-THON Events, alternative fundraisers, & THON Weekend.
At its core, THON is an organization that makes a difference in the lives of families and children battling childhood cancer. Each year, through meticulous care & dedication, we are able to make sure that 96 cents of every dollar directly impacts children & families battling childhood cancer.
Since 1977, THON has raised more than $236 million for Four Diamonds at Penn State Health Children’s Hospital. We are thankful for our incredible partners, who continue to support us in our pursuit of a cure.
Join our alumni groups in contributing to the efforts of THON with the common goal of one day dancing in celebration of a cure. The Alumni Challenge challenges our Penn State Alumni Community to see which geographical region can raise the most money in support of THON. Gather with your friends, co-workers, local alumni chapter, etc. to organize an event & spread THON’s mission nationwide by bringing THON to your area.
