To culminate a year-long effort to raise money to fight pediatric cancer, Penn State held its annual dance marathon (known as THON) over the weekend.
Over 700 dancers stood for 46 consecutive hours and as part of the event’s pep rally, the freshmen from the Penn State football team showed off their dance moves in front of more than 15,000 at the Bryce Jordan Center.
While those guys put on a show and were named finalists along with men’s gymnastics and men’s soccer, the PSU men’s hockey team stole the show and had the winning routine.
Earlier on Sunday, head coach James Franklin, along with his family, made an appearance and gave a short, heartfelt speech to the crowd. Franklin also announced that he and his family made a $13,000 donation.
In all, the 2015 THON event raised $13,026,563.23. Well done.
