York THON dancers get ready for the big weekend to dance For The Kids

For Jimmy Clark, the opportunity to dance at the Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon, fondly known as THON, is very personal. Clark, a 19-year-old sophomore at Penn State York, is a Four Diamonds child himself, and a cancer survivor. He will join Kara Smith, a 22-year-old senior at Penn State York, and represent the campus at the 41st annual THON, a 46-hour-hour dance marathon, set for Feb. 15-17, at the Bryce Jordan Center in State College. The event is held each year to raise money for the Four Diamonds Fund at the Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital in Hershey, Pa.

The two dancers were chosen for York based on a variety of criteria, including spirit points they earned since last September by doing a variety of activities to raise money for THON and the battle against pediatric cancer. THON is the largest student-run philanthropy and weekend dance marathon is the culmination of a yearlong fundraising effort.
