THON is the largest student-run philanthropy in the entire world. Held at Penn State University, THON is a 46 hour dance marathon that helps raise money for the Four Diamonds Fund, which benefits Pediatric Cancer research at the Hershey Children's Medical Hospital. Since 1973, THON has been around, and since the partnership with the Four Diamonds Fund in 1977, THON has raised over $61 million to fight pediatric cancer. THON 2010 was looking to beat THON 2009's record of $7.49 million. When the total was revealed... well.. you'll see.
