Book your room today for this year’s full return to the in-person event, and $25 of each room night booked through the link below on February 17th and 18th will be donated to THON.

The Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon, affectionately known as THON, began in 1973 when thirty-nine dance couples raised $2,136 for a local nonprofit organization. Four years later, Four Diamonds and THON united For The Kids™ when THON named Four Diamonds the sole beneficiary of its fundraising activities. Since 1977, THON has raised $208 million in the fight to conquer childhood cancer, with $13 million raised in 2022. As the largest student-run philanthropy in the world, THON annually engages more than 16,000 student volunteers in generating awareness and raising funds for the fight against pediatric cancer.
