Our Story
The Hope Gala is an annual fundraising event established to support the mission of Penn State Dance Marathon (THON). Since its inception in 2008, this dedicated organization has raised over $2.3 million to conquer childhood cancer. The funds directly benefit Four Diamonds, the sole beneficiary of THON's fundraising activities, ensuring that childhood cancer patients and their families receive essential financial aid, medical assistance, and emotional support at the Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital.
