THON raises $15 Million

[Nitwit]

After dancers sat down and a few speeches were made, THON 2023 announced it raised $15,006,132.46 For The Kids!

The total breaks THON’s yearly record for the second consecutive year. Last year, THON 2022 raised $13,756,374.50, which at the time surpassed the previous record that was set back in 2014.
Great work by all the students - and a huge thank you to all who contributed

We are Penn State!

Has BTN ever promoted THON as the incredible event it is? I have seen many references to Iowa's wave...but never a mention about ThON's contribution to fighting children's cancer

WE ARE ....THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY

DO YOU WANT RECOGNITION FROM THE CONFERENCE?
I BELIEVE OUR THON STUDENTS RECEIVE ENOUGH GRATIFICATION FROM THE FAMILIES OF THE "THON"

iowa gets a lot of hype over their game-changing, life-saving because it’s done at football games.

We do not need the BTN to tell us our cultural identity.
WE ARE THE GREATEST

Do you really have to ask that?

The Big10 is as anti-Penn State as Davey Jones…maybe more.

Waving at sick kids only applies to kids in the hospital. To injured players on the field they do this...

Congrats to everyone involved. Impressive.

I wish stories like this were more often covered by the big national news networks. I've almost become numb to the constant negative headlines from those sources.

Philanthropic stories are nice reminders that not all the world is going to hell in a handbasket.

My nephew, as a survivor of Hodgkin's lymphoma, was treated to a stadium tour this weekend with Spider Caldwell and ran into CJF at Champs.
