Why We THON

THON is a student-run philanthropy committed to enhancing the lives of children and
families impacted by childhood cancer. Our mission is to provide emotional and financial
support, spread awareness, and ensure funding for critical research—all in pursuit of a cure.

-So every cub can grow up to be a Nittany Lion

 

We THON for the day that we will celebrate a cure.

“As a community, we remain dedicated to the deeper meaning behind the monetary amount that we raise. The money we raise means that more than 4,000 families never see a medical bill, that parents can focus solely on the health of their child, and that kids are able to create positive memories despite this disease.”

Ready to Make a Difference?

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.
