For 34 years, the students involved with the Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon have dedicated their time and energy to provide outstanding financial, emotional and physical support to the children, families, researchers and staff of The Four Diamonds Fund. We have raised more than $41 million to date, and last year alone we raised $4,214,748.18.

You can make a difference. Donors have allowed us to continually increase the quality of care at the Penn State Children's Hospital. THON recently committed $10 million over the next six years to the construction of a new Pediatric Cancer Pavilion at the Penn State Children's Hospital. This pavilion will centralize and revolutionize the treatment received by these children. We need your help to fulfill this pledge. Read below to see all of the ways you can make a gift to help children with cancer.
