THON 2026 Committee Member Applications Now Open

It’s that time of year again, folks! The THON 2026 committee member applications are now open.

Students interested in being a part of the largest student-run philanthropy in the world can submit their completed applications by 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, September 18. The link to apply can be found here.

Each year, THON is run by 16 distinct committees, each falling under one of the four purpose-driven preference groups: awareness, facilitation, fundraising, and public relations. From Hospitality to Rules and Regulations, there’s something for everybody.

Those interested in applying for the first time can select from one of the four groups as their preference, while returning members have the option to select specific committees for consideration.

Applicants can find descriptions of each committee here, as well as a brief summary of each committee and whether its members are eligible to dance during THON weekend.

THON 2026 is set for Friday, February 20, to Sunday, February 22.

We dance in 165, folks!
