THAT’S BECAUSE THON 22 WRAPPED UP LAST NIGHT WITH A SPECTACULAR FINISH AND GRAND TOTAL. STUDENTS PUT ON THEIR DANCIN SHOES FRIDAY AT 6PM , AND DANCED INTO SUNDAY AFTERNOON. AT THE END, THE GRAND TOTAL OF $13.75 MILLION WAS RAISED TO BENEFIT THE FOUR DIAMONDS FUND, A CANCER RESEARCH PROGRAM AT PENN STATE CHILDRENS HOSPITAL. THIS TOTAL BRINGS THE OVERALL COMBINED TOTAL RAISED BY THON IN ITS HISTORY TO MORE THAN $190 MILLION. LAST YEARS EVENT WAS HELD VITRUALLY BECAUSE OF COVID, BUT STUDENTS WERE OUT IN FORCE THIS YEAR KEEPING THE TRADITION GOING AS THE LARGEST STUDENT RUN PHILANTHROPY IN THE WORLD.
