What is Thon?

     The Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon (THON™) is the largest student run philanthropy in
 the world! Penn State students plan this amazing event and collect donations year-round to benefit The
 Four Diamonds Fund, Conquering Childhood Cancer, and the Penn State Children's Hospital in 
 Hershey, PA, all in the hopes of one day finding a cure for pediatric cancer. THON™ is the collective 
 effort of over 40,000 students and has become one of Penn State's greatest traditions!

  
  What Does it Mean to AEPi?

     Thon is a huge part of the year for us.  Every year we steadily increase the amount of money we raise, 
  and are looking to have a huge year next year.  Seeing the faces on the children puts into perspective the 
  importance of THON and making a child with cancer happy. This year, THON 2007 raised over 
  $5,240,385.178.  Alpha Epsilon Pi along with SDT placed 10th in the greek competition contributing 
  $$91,000 to THON.  Congratulations, another successful year of THON.  We are looking forward
 to another successful year with SDT next year.
