Since the beginning, the Borough of State College community and Penn State University have been an invaluable partner in THON’s pursuit of a cure of childhood cancer. Since 1977, State College has been, truly becoming the City of THON™. From THON™ cannot thank the Borough of State College enough.

Mayor Ron Filipelli Officially Declares State College ‘City of THON’ this year from 6pm Friday, February 19th, to 4pm Sunday, February 21st!

The State College Borough helps us spread awareness of THON™ through Local Reading Campaign, where THON™ volunteers were able to Zoom into State College elementary classrooms, and read the kids “The Nittany Lion Goes to THON™”. Along with this, we also made Kids Mail and explained what THON™ is and why we THON™ to the kids!

The City of THON™ also put up banners on lampposts about THON™ to spread awareness for our mission to the community!
