Thank you! 3rd Annual PSU CNJ Bowl-over-Cancer Event for THON Raised $1,006!
Message on Behalf of CNJ Chapter President:
Thank you for attending The Central NJ Chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association's 3rd Annual Bowl-Over-Cancer Event for THON on Sunday, February 21st. I hope you had a wonderful time at the event and had an opportunity to meet some fellow Alums (photos on our chapter Facebook page: Penn State Alumni Association (Central NJ Chapter)). There were over 40 people at the event and we RAISED over $1,000 for THON (aka For the Kids). The Chapter Board and I appreciate you coming out and supporting THON.
THON was started back in 1973 with 34 dancers and they raised $2K. Since then, THON’s presence has grown exponentially. While I was at Penn State, it was held in the White Building, then moved to REC Hall and is now in the Bryce Jordan Center (4 yr). THON now has 15K student volunteers (largest student run philanthropy in the world), 700 dancers (no sitting / no sleeping for 46 hrs) and has RAISED more than $68.8M ($7.8M for this year's event), benefiting The Four Diamonds Fund at Penn State’s Children’s Hospital. Since 1977, THON has assisted more than 2,000 families and during this time, no family has been turned away from the Four Diamonds Fund.
Again, thank you for attending and I look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming events.
WE ARE...
For the Kids and For the Glory,
Katie Dunn
