One of the reasons that Lily Pevoto wanted to attend Penn State University was that she was so impressed with their Dance Marathon known as THON. This event is the largest student run philanthropy in the world. Now approaching its 50th year, this fundraiser has 700 dancers who take to the floor at the Bryce Jordan Center in State College and dance for 46 straight hours. More than 16,000 student volunteers make certain that this event runs as smoothly as possible. Lily is the Executive Director for the upcoming THON to be held in February of 2023, and will talk about this fundraiser which has raised over 200 million dollars for the cause of Pediatric Cancer.
