THON first-year committee applications are now open for THON 2026.

The first-year committee, established in the fall of 2020, provides first-years who missed the initial committee member application an additional opportunity to get involved.

Between January and February, selected applicants will attend weekly meetings to learn about THON’s history, committee roles, and the organization’s fundraising efforts. Instead of choosing a preferred committee, first-year committee members will have the opportunity to learn about the various roles performed at THON.

Applications must be submitted to the THON website.

We dance in 94, folks!
