THON™ 2027 has officially begun, and we’re here to share ways you can stay involved with the largest student-run philanthropy over your summer break! 

Tune into our socials! 

July is the first fundraising month of the year, and there are so many fun social media challenges you and your friends can participate in. Follow @pennstatethon on Instagram and join us in the Social Media Challenge! Follow the steps in the caption to be entered into a lottery, where 3 lucky winners will receive $500 credited to their organization or IDC of their choice! There are many more opportunities to come, so make sure to follow for more information! 

Register on DonorDrive! 

Start fundraising with your own DonorDrive. This is such a fun and easy way to share the mission of THON, and you can even personalize your account. Share your link with your friends and family and make sure to personalize your account to share your THON journey. 

Learn more about the mission! 

A great way to stay involved with THON over the summer is by learning from our Four Diamonds families and hearing their stories. Family stories are a great way to gain a deeper understanding of your impact and can be found on the THON website. There are also stories on THON’s YouTube channel. These stories help keep the mission at the heart of everything we do. 

As you continue to enjoy your break, the best way to stay involved with THON is to remember your why. Why do you THON? Every small action and each step we take brings us one step closer to the cure that every child deserves. By the time the fall semester rolls around, it will be your why that fuels the passion, purpose, and power of THON.
