The 2015 Greater Allegheny THON committee is planning its second annual spaghetti dinner from 4 to 8 p.m. on Jan. 31 at Jacob Woll Pavilion in Renziehausen Park.
This year the event will feature a silent auction with a number of themed baskets including Penn State, Pittsburgh sports, wine and cheese, pasta, movies, and car cleaning, just to name a few.
THON is a yearlong effort to raise funds and awareness for the fight against pediatric cancer.
Since 1977, THON has raised more than $114 million for the Four Diamonds Fund at Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital, which supports childhood cancer research. THON 2015 will take place from Feb. 20-22 at Penn State's Bryce Jordan Center on the University Park campus, where dancers will attempt to stay on their feet for 46 hours.
The Greater Allegheny THON committee is led by student co-chairs Andrew Pricener and Jaleel Dyson. It has been raising money and planning for an exciting event coming up on Feb. 20-22. Anyone interested in donating to THON or attending the THON Spaghetti Dinner should email the committee at psugathon1@gmail.com or phone (412) 708-7813.
