Graduate State College Supporting THON

Growing up is a beautiful thing. Let’s fight for it.

Since 1977, THON has raised over $168 million for our sole beneficiary, Four Diamonds at Penn State Children’s Hospital, providing comprehensive care for over 4,000 families and funding critical research to take this fight beyond central Pennsylvania and spread hope around the world. THON's mission is to provide both financial and emotional support for our families, ensuring that they never have to face cancer alone.  

Graduate State College is excited to partner with THON! Only a block from The Pennsylvania State University, our Happy Valley-inspired hotel channels the energy of THON and rallies at Old Main. We look forward to supporting THON’s mission throughout the year and hosting Four Diamonds Families during the big weekend.

Over the past 46 years, THON has grown into the world's largest student run philanthropy, engaging over 16,500 student volunteers, 25,00 alumni, and countless supporters in their mission. Graduate State College is proud to partner with THON as it continues to lead our community in the fight against childhood cancer.

Together, we can make a difference in the life of a child.
