KAPi Benefitting THON

THON is the world’s largest student-run philanthropy, dedicated to supporting children and families impacted by childhood cancer through the Four Diamonds Fund. Each year, Penn State students come together in a year-long effort that culminates in a 46-hour dance marathon to raise funds and awareness For The Kids®.

As of 2025, Penn State KAPi proudly established our official support for THON. Through fundraising events, campus outreach, and participation in THON Weekend, our chapter is committed to making a difference in the lives of families affected by childhood cancer—while strengthening the bonds of our brotherhood and the Penn State community.
