THON mail has been a facet of the THON experience for years, allowing those unable to attend the event themselves the opportunity to showcase their support.
This weekend, we had the honor of hearing incredible stories about
why dancers dance. Dancers shared their passions and inspirations behind their involvement with THON, and we wanted to continue the conversation.
Here’s a few more thoughts from some of THON 2021’s 592 dancers.

Why are you dancing in THON?
I am dancing because my father passed away from cancer over a year ago and believed in THON when he was a Penn Stater. After getting to meet the children of THON and hearing their inspiring stories, I’m dancing not only for them but for him, too.
The Dancer Relations Committee is vital to keeping dancers on their feet. However, this year’s virtual format brought a unique set of logistical challenges.
