Why We Dance: The Story of THON is a documentary project that chronicles the student-run philanthropy, THON, and the children, families, and students who are changed by their experience.
To many people, THON is a weekend-long event with 46 straight hours of dancing. What they may not see is an entire year spent raising awareness and money to conquer childhood cancer. Why We Dance: The Story of THON will introduce you to the inspirational children battling cancer and the Penn State students who participate in THON, dedicating themselves to making a difference for others.
DVDs of this documentary are available for purchase through our website here: http://wpsu.org/thondocumentary. A portion of the sales goes to the Four Diamonds Fund.

You must be a Christian Scientist (neither Christian nor scientific). God gave man grace and intellect to combat diseases. If anything it's Cancer that is "from Satan".
BTW get your caps lock fixed, we're not deaf!

I THON for the kids who can't. I THON for all the hero who lost their battle. I THON for the families who can't do it on their own. Most importantly, I THON for the kids. FTK. <3
