BTN LiveBIG: PSU THON Director Q&A
For the past 37 years, Penn State University’s student body have pulled together the largest student-run fundraising effort, called THON. Many universities have dance marathons to support charities, but Penn State students blow it out at a scale that is unmatched. The student body has successfully raised more than $100 million for pediatric cancer patients and research. This year’s effort is expected to clear $12 million in donations. An operation this large needs a dedicated team of people to manage the 15,000 participants. It’s a yearlong effort building to the 46-hour non-stop event February 21st through the 23rd. BTN LiveBIG
