Every year, over 16,500 student volunteers at The Pennsylvania State University (PSU) help plan and execute THON™ Weekend, a 46-hour, no-sitting, no-sleeping dance marathon. Thousands of students, volunteers, and spectators come together to raise millions of dollars annually and support over 4,800 families impacted by childhood cancer.
THON is thrilled to announce that THON Weekend 2026 will take place from February 20-22 at the Bryce Jordan Center.
Join us in February as we dance For The Kids® and continue to fight against childhood cancer. Whether you are dancing, volunteering, or showing support from the stands, your presence makes an impact.
THON 2025 set a record with $17.7 million raised, making THON’s total fundraising $253 million all For The Kids. Let’s take a look back at some memories from last year’s THON Weekend:
Stay tuned for THON’s Ignite the Fight fundraising window that begins July 1st. Every dollar brings us closer to a cure.
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.
