THON, the largest student-run philanthropy in the world, raised nearly 17 million dollars to enhance the lives of children and families impacted with childhood cancer. Proceeds from the 46-hour dance marathon provide emotional and financial support, spread awareness, and ensure funding for critical research in the pursuit of a cure.
