Events Throughout The Year
A number of events throughout the year pave the way to THON weekend:
- Tours of the Penn State Children's Hospital are available year-round, enabling student volunteers to connect on a personal level with those whom their generosity benefits.
- 100 Days Until THON is a campus-wide event designed to encourage student involvement. Student volunteers staff information tables and activities all over Penn State's University Park campus.
- The new THON logo is announced each year during the THON Family Carnival.

Famous quotes containing the words the year, events and/or year:
“‘Tis not to see the world
As from a height, with rapt prophetic eyes,
And heart profoundly stirred;
And weep, and feel the fullness of the past,
The years that are not more.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“There is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community. By carefully chronicling the current events of contemporary life, it shows us of what very little importance such events really are. By invariably discussing the unnecessary, it makes us understand what things are requisite for culture, and what are not.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
““That corpse you planted last year in your garden,
“Has it begun to sprout? Will it bloom this year?
“Or has the sudden frost disturbed its bed?
“O keep the Dog far hence, that’s friend to men,
“Or with his nails he’ll dig it up again!”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
