DUBOIS, Pa. — Bingo night is planned at Penn State DuBois to benefit THON, the Penn State Dance Marathon held each February to raise funds to help battle childhood cancer. Bingo Night is planned for 6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 11, in the Hiller Student Union.
Players will have the chance to win a variety of prizes. Daubers are $1 each. Prices are $10 for 6 cards per game, $15 for 12 cards per game, $20 for 18 cards per game, and $25 for 24 cards per game.
The largest student-run philanthropy in the world, engaging more than 15,000 students across Pennsylvania, THON has raised $168 million for the Four Diamonds Fund since its inception in 1977. The event's sole beneficiary, and a leader in the fight against pediatric cancer, the Four Diamonds Fund fills in the funding gaps that insurance leaves for the patients it serves, enabling families to focus on caring for their child. Because of large donors like THON, Penn State Children's Hospital is able to recruit world-class talent to continue innovative research and maintain and expand its state-of-the-art facilities.
