After dancers laid back and got off their feet after a long 46 hours in the Bryce Jordan Center, THON 2025 revealed it raised $17,737,040.93 For The Kids!

The total breaks of THON 2024’s record of $16,955,683.46.

This year, 708 dancers entered the Bryce Jordan Center and dominated a 46-hour, no-sitting, no-sleeping dance marathon in the fight against pediatric cancer. After a year’s worth of fundraising efforts, this total raised millions of dollars for Four Diamonds.

Since the start of Four Diamonds and THON’s partnership in 1977, the pair have raised over $230 million, not including this year’s fundraising efforts. Every year, Penn State students will continue to dance For The Kids until we can dance in celebration of a cure.

Relive all of the glory from this weekend and read about Onward State’s extensive THON Weekend 2025 coverage of performances, appearances, and dancer and family stories here.

On Monday, fundraising efforts for THON 2026 will begin as we continue to fight in the pursuit of a cure.
