The Bryce Jordan Center will welcome thousands of Penn Staters and beyond this weekend for 46 hours of standing, dancing, and fun to support awareness and research for the fight against childhood cancer.

Last year’s THON raised a record $16.9 million. This year, the event is seeking to break that record for the fourth straight year. If you want to donate For The Kids this year, here’s how you can help out.

THON Donor Drive

Head over to the THON website if you would like to make a general or credited donation. Folks donating can also credit an organization or a dancer.

Text “THON” To 41444

Another way to donate is to text “THON” to 41444. An automated response text message providing a link to donate will show up on your device. You can credit organizations and independent dancer couples until February 22.
