PSUGA THON Dancers Help Raise Millions

Congratulations to Sophomore Civil Engineering Major, Tyler Barry, and to Freshman Criminal Justice Major, Sydney Fedor, who were on their feet on the court of the Bryce Jordan Center for 46 hours during the 47th Annual THON weekend, Feb. 20 to 22, helping to raise more than $11.6 million.

Thanks to the generosity of campus faculty, students, staff, and the local community, Greater Allegheny THON Captain, Senior Business Major, Megan Trunk, said $5,000 was raised through a craft show, from selling popcorn and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, working Fright Night at Kennywood Park, managing concession sales at home basketball games, and through THON’s traditional direct mail campaign.

Founded in 1971, THON is the largest student-run philanthropy in the world.  It raises money for childhood cancer research and support.
