This February will mark the 22nd edition of one of the largest and most anticipated events at the University of Connecticut: HuskyTHON. HuskyTHON is a yearlong fundraising campaign for the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center in Hartford, Connecticut. The campaign wraps up with an 18-hour dance marathon where the grand fundraising total is revealed.
This year, HuskyTHON will likely look different due to the COVID-19 virus, but it will still be filled with tons of entertainment and excitement. The pandemic has caused the HuskyTHON management team to alter some of the ways it prepares for the event.
