Catherine and Sarah met back in 2009 when they both were selected to serve as Moralers on the WALK-a-fELLAs team. Now, 15 years later, we’re both grateful moms, proud Penn State alums, and forever friends. THON provided each of us with lifelong friendships, charitable perspectives, and the importance of dancing for good .
Our 30 second THON elevator pitch is that it’s the largest student-run philanthropy in the world, and it’s working to END childhood cancer. But to be totally honest, THON weekend is overwhelming. The experience is the closest you can feel in a stadium with thousands of people. It’s electric, and it IS changing the world.
Please consider giving FOR THE KIDS - and for the opportunity to end the nightmare of childhood cancer. Catherine and Sarah are fundraising for a child’s right at a future, for a fighting chance against cancer, and for the opportunity to dance another day. Won’t you join us?
When you support THON, you become a partner in the fight against childhood cancer.
We are working alongside 16,500 student volunteers to support over 4,800 families at Penn State Health Children’s Hospital and to end the fight against childhood cancer. Since 1973, THON has raised over $204 million, For The Kids! Your donations will:
- Provide Emotional & Financial Support by offsetting the costs of treatment that insurance cannot cover.
- Fund Innovative Research that will not only enhance treatment for children in Pennsylvania but is giving hope to families worldwide.
- Spread Awareness of THON's mission across the country and throughout the world.
