Even with a weak economy, THON broke all records again this year, raising more than $7.49 million and bringing the total raised since its inception to more than $57 million for the Four Diamonds Fund. The actual total raised was $7,490,133.87. Throughout the 46-hour no-sitting, no-sleeping event, dancers were supported by moralers and other THON volunteers, as well as by the entertainment, and the crowds in the stands. Many of the Four Diamonds Families who benefit from the money raised at THON also were in attendance. For photos, visit http://live.psu.edu/stilllife/1982 online. (more)

"Unfortunately, it took the devastating experience of having a child with cancer to open my eyes to the incredible achievement that is THON," said Penn State faculty member Matthew Restall.
