Dance MaraTHON


The Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon, affectionately known as THON, is a yearlong effort to raise funds and awareness for the fight against pediatric cancer.  Since 1977, THON has raised more than $114 million for the Four Diamonds Fund at Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital.  THON 2015 is taking place from February 20th-22nd, 2015 at Penn State's Bryce Jordan Center.  However, our residents at Wellspring couldn't make it to the actual event, so we hosted our own Dance MaraTHON on site!

Proceeds are being donated to the Penn State THON.  Our residents have enjoyed all types of music and dance this month, from our new Music & Memory program to dancing the night away.  This is all part of our initiative to bring music and the arts to life for even our most frail elders. Our residents danced for 25 minutes, hydrated, and then danced for 20 more minutes!!!
