THON

Dance Marathon, often referred to as THON, is the largest student-run philanthropy in the nation, raising over 41 million dollars for the Four Diamonds Fund and children's cancer research.

Each year student-athletes help to lead the charge by raising money, sponsoring student-athlete dancers and heading a variety of committees. Additionally, student-athletes support the dancers and families by hosting a family hour carnival and participating in a pep rally.
