THON Weekend 2018 takes place on Feb. 16-18, 2018.
This is my annual post to request that you consider donating to THON. It's very easy to do online.
I've mentioned in the past that with all the amazing events I've attended at PSU, the most emotional I've ever been is when I attended THON. The energy the students exhibited was unbelievable. The love and support they gave to the THON kids was breathtaking. The amount raised was stunning.
In addition to the overall good all donations do for the kids, the dollars donated also help the organizations and individuals that are the backbone of THON. The number of dancers that each frat/sorority is allocated each year is predicated on how much that Greek organization raises the previous. The same holds true for the general THON organizations. Lastly, the Independent Dancer Couples get to dance at THON on a combination of how much they raise as well as a lottery.
THON donations can be made at THIS LINK.
If you scroll down on the page that the above link takes you to, there are four options:
DONATE NOW -- this is a donation that does not support any organization or dance couple; just a donation to THON
General Organizations DONATE -- this is a donation that goes to THON, but also supports a general organization in terms of how much they raise/how many dancers they get next year
Greek Organizations DONATE -- this is a donation that goes to THON, but also supports a Greek organization in terms of how much they raise/how many dancers they get next year
Independent Dancer Couples DONATE -- this is a donation that goes to THON, but also supports a specific dance couple
If you've already given since the 2017 THON, I thank you for your generosity. Perhaps between now and the end of the 2018 THON, you'll be motivated to give a bit more.
For those of you that are inclined to donate, but have no specific organization/dance couple you wish to support, I would ask that you donate to support the Greek Organizations of Lambda Chi Alpha or Pi Beta Phi. (That's just a suggestion, and I take no offense if any of you donate in support of any other organization, or dance couple.)
Thanks for your consideration, and let's help the PSU students, and the kids they support!
FTK!
