THON will host its annual candlelight vigil to honor children lost to pediatric cancer from 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, January 31, in 131 HUB.

The organization will light luminary vigil bags in commemoration of those lost to pediatric cancer.

In an attempt to remind volunteers, students, and community members of the meaning behind THON, many of the children celebrated Wednesday will be honored during THON Weekend’s “Family Hour” within the final four hours of THON Weekend.

THON 2024 will kick off at 6 p.m. on Friday, February 16, and run through 4 p.m. on Sunday, February 18, in the Bryce Jordan Center.

We dance in 18, Penn State!
