This year, we challenge geographical locations to see which state can raise the most money toward THON. Gather with your friends, co-workers, local alumni chapter, etc. by organizing an event and raising funds to take action while spreading THON’s mission nationwide. Represent your area and put your community on the map by participating in the 2018 Alumni Challenge. Click here to Join the Fight today. #AlumniFTK

I successfully completed the event in 1983... and now, 31 years later, my son... Matt Pulos... is dancing as an independent dancer as well.

It’s true what they say: THON never leaves your heart, and neither do the kids you dance for. FTK Forever!
