Two of THON’s largest and most successful organizations — Springfield and ATO/ZTA — are teaming up this week to host an all-you-can-eat taco dinner from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, November 2.

The dinner will be held at The Station at State College office on Beaver Avenue and will cost $5 (cash only). Proceeds will of course be donated through THON to Four Diamonds, all For The Kids.

Last year, the two organizations topped the fundraising totals for special interest organizations and Greek organizations, raising $192,883.78 and $296,369.40, respectively. The partnership between the two organizations could signal a shift in THON’s culture away from the traditional stark competition between organizations and more toward a collaboration to achieve the same goals.
