We have a list of many great events happening and much more. (visit guide)

THON

Next weekend (Feb. 20-22) the Bryce Jordan Center will be electric and awake for 48 straight hours as The Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon-THON will once again (since 1977) be helping kids with cancer.  Each year THON has 15,000 volunteers, 700 dancers and to date, has raised more than $114 million for the fight against pediatric cancer, benefiting The Four Diamonds Fund at Penn State Children’s Hospital. StateCollege.com will be your source for news, images and video from THON. DONATE!
