All family members who are receiving a pass must be present at the pass table. If members of your family are arriving at different times throughout the weekend they can pick up their passes once they arrive at the Bryce Jordan Center.

Yes — even your kids; however, their passes can be pinned to their back! We ask that you wear your passes at all times during THON Weekend. Wearing your pass helps THON’s volunteers to identify you as a family. The floor pass system also allows us to protect all participants by only allowing pre-approved individuals on the floor and maintaining the floor capacity at safe levels throughout the weekend.

Your family pass permits you to be on the floor for the duration of THON Weekend.

Yes, but please remember that passes are only available for immediate family members. If someone else decides to come to THON that should be awarded a pass, please email Kaylee Tully at family.relations@thon.org. As long as you give us an accurate number, we can make sure that we allocate your family the proper number of family passes!

If you see someone breaking a rule, feel free to alert the nearest THON volunteer. They will make sure that the proper person is alerted.

If you know your child is on the dance floor then please come directly to the stage and tell Larry Moore, THON’s DJ. Otherwise, please alert any THON captain or committee member. They will immediately locate those volunteers who will be able to help you find your child.

An EMS Room, with trained personnel, is located on the event level near the stage entrance. For assistance locating this room, you may ask a captain or committee member.

In the event of an emergency, please immediately alert a Rules and Regulations captain or committee member, or anyone with a radio. Rules and Regulations volunteers will be wearing red t-shirts.

The family pass system is in place to ensure the safety of your family THON Weekend! Simply stated, it is a check in and out of the building, so we know where your family is in case of an emergency! Additionally, the pass system helps us to monitor floor capacity to make sure that the floor never becomes too crowded.

As a family, you will be awarded the same number of floor passes as immediate members of your family. If you have any special requests, please forward them to Kaylee Tully at family.relations@thon.org.
