Three dancers and about 50 moralers from Penn State Abington are recovering this week from one of the most exhausting and rewarding weekends of their lives — the annual 46-hour no sitting, no sleeping dance marathon known worldwide as THON.
They danced, they cried, and they cheered as they celebrated contributing $25,000 from Abington THON to combat pediatric cancer.
Dancers Brittany Darnley, Nick Pelbano and Shannon Lynott were in the spotlight, but the Abington campus community was with them organizing and attending events to raise money.
And each year the dancers leave Abington with a police escort and a crew from local news station 6ABC filmed them.
