Alumni TeleTHON
Tune into the Alumni TeleTHON on Thursday, February 3rd from 7 PM – 9 PM! This is a live stream event featuring a variety of impactful alumni as well as live performances from Penn State students. We will be announcing the winners of Alumni Wars at this event. This will also coincide with the alumni matching day mentioned above. The teleTHON can be found on THON.org/livestream. We hope you will virtually join us!
Supply The Fight
The Supply the Fight initiative is a collection drive for supplies that are crucial to THON’s success but are often hard to obtain. The THON community is encouraged to donate items found on the THON 2022 Supply the Fight registry. You can purchase directly from the registry or bring the items to the THON Office (227D HUB). Donations can be credited to an org, IDC, committee, alumni, or Commonwealth Campus. Your donations help reduce internal costs to ensure that 96 cents of every dollar fundraised directly benefits the families and THON’s mission. For more information contact supplythefight@thon.org or visit https://thon.org/supply-our-mission-supply-the-fight/.
Lions Pride FTK
Lions Pride is a Penn State tradition supplying the community with Penn State gear since 1976! From February 1 until THON, Lions Pride will donate 20% of proceeds to THON online and in-store. Mention THON at the register or add the linked promotion to your cart using the link below.
