Our Team of Directors

The THON Directors are a passionate group of leaders dedicated to continuing the legacy of THON, which began in 1973 when a small group of students sought to give back to their community. Together, our directors are not just continuing a tradition; they are shaping the future of THON, fostering a culture of compassion, resilience, and community service that empowers students and transforms lives.

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.
