Over 700 dancers spent the weekend in the Bryce Jordan Center to raise money for the fight against childhood cancer.

This year, the 46-hour, no sitting, no sleeping dance marathon raised $17,737,040. That's nearly $1 million more than last year, and it is a new record for the fundraiser.

Thon’s sole beneficiary is Four Diamonds at Penn State Health Children’s Hospital in Hershey, and the money raised ensures that families never see a medical bill or the financial burden of cancer, Thon’s website states. Donations also help fund cancer research.
