Students, volunteers, alumni and donors came together to raise a record breaking $2.35 million in just 17 days through THON™’s Dream Forward campaign.
Dream Forward is THON’s largest fundraising and awareness campaign outside of THON Weekend. The 2027 Dream Forward fundraising goal was $1.5 million. With events ranging from the THON 5K to a social media storm, Dream Forward is a testament to what the community can accomplish in just under 3 weeks.
Thank you to everyone who made these strives towards beating childhood cancer possible. The unwavering dedication and effort from the THON community does not go unnoticed. Join us in our mission to provide emotional and financial support, spread awareness, and fund life-saving research in pursuit of a cure For The Kids®.
The momentum from Dream Forward will carry into THON Weekend from Feb. 19-21, 2027, where more than 16,500 student volunteers will unite at the Bryce Jordan Center for the 46-hour, no-sitting, no-sleeping dance marathon.

THON™ is able to donate 96 cents of every dollar raised to Four Diamonds at Penn State Health Golisano Children’s Hospital because of supporters like you. Your generosity creates moments of joy for Four Diamonds children and families and empowers our volunteers through year-round events, fundraisers and THON Weekend.
