Love the photos! I caught Dance Marathon fever after working with the families from Children's Miracle Network during our event at UO this year. I'm already looking forward to next year. It literally boggles my mind to imagine the logistics of an event this large!

Fiance just texted me.... the THON 2013 total is $12,374,034.46! Shattering last year's record of $10.6 million! AMAZING job, PSU!

<3 So proud!!!

A friend of mine coded the WeArePSUPledge app! So excited for you guys and now I'm missing IUDM! (the nation's second largest DM)

I am so incredibly proud of my chapter and of EVERYONE who did such a great job at raising that money! THON is the largest student-run philanthropy in the world!!! THIS is what makes me proud to be a Penn State Alumna!

THON reaches a milestone!

"We are so proud to have finally reached the $100 million milestone. This is an achievement that not only present students and volunteers should be proud of, but an accomplishment that all past dancers, students, and volunteers should rejoice in. We are all part of reaching $100 million."
- Will Martin, Overall Chairperson for THON 2013
