THON

This weekend, students and spectators are again joining together for the signature event of the largest student-run philanthropy in the world. THON has helped 4,000 families, including current Penn State students Tucker Haas and Robbie Schweitzer in their own fight against cancer.

Those attending THON events this weekend at the Bryce Jordan Center who arrive by vehicle will most likely run into Erica Jones. She is a parking expert and is perhaps one of the first people THON goers and participants meet when they arrive, simply because of her position.

CATA once again will offer 24-hour Loop bus service for the duration of THON, which begins on Friday and continues through Sunday afternoon.

THON special-interest organization Apollo will host the third annual Food Truck Fiesta on Friday at Grace Lutheran Church in State College.

Another year, another big fundraising total for Penn State’s THON and its efforts to support pediatric cancer patients and research.

The families who inspire year-round fundraising and a 46-hour dance marathon took center stage on Sunday afternoon as THON 2019 headed into its final hours.
