What is THON?
The Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon, or THON, is the largest student-run philanthropy in the world. THON is a year-long effort which raises funds and awareness for the fight against childhood cancer. With the support of students from all across the commonwealth of Pennsylvania and supporters all around the world, we continue to make great strides towards finding a cure for all childhood cancers. Our efforts culminate with a two day, no-sitting, no-sleeping dance marathon in February.

Our Involvement
The Accounting Society fully promotes the involvement of its members in raising money for and participating in THON. We raise money each year by scheduling canning trips during the fall semester and also by selecting dancers to represent the Accounting Society. Members who participate in THON will be recognized for their efforts at the end of each semester.
We strongly encourage students to participate in canning and dancing for THON. The number of students that attend canning events exponentially increases the amount of money we raise. So each student does make a difference.
