THON™ and Penn State Football are excited to announce that the THON Football game will take place on September 6th, as the Nittany Lions take on Florida International University (FIU)!
Every year, Penn State Football celebrates the THON community and our Four Diamonds families by dedicating a home game to the fight against childhood cancer. THON Football is a beloved tradition where Four Diamonds families are welcomed to Beaver Stadium to connect with their paired organizations and experience the energy of a Penn State home game. At halftime all the families present take the field and raise signs that spell out “Go State Beat Cancer”. The kids and families truly become a part of the show and have an active role in making the day special.
Over 100,000 people pack into the stadium to cheer on Penn State football and show support For The Kids®. THON Football is a day filled with school spirit, community, and unwavering hope. Join Penn State students, alumni, and fans this September 6th to cheer on Penn State Football and continue the fight to beat cancer!
If you are interested in donating your ticket to a Four Diamonds family, please reach out to family.relations@THON.org.
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.
