It's almost time for 50 States FTK!

For the second year, we’re kicking off September with 50 States FTK in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month! This nationwide THON™ Alumni campaign is dedicated to uniting our community across the country and showing that Penn Staters and THON supporters remain connected in the fight against childhood cancer, even years after their time at Penn State.
Our goal is to receive at least $1 from all 50 states between September 1 and September 30, 2026. Last year, we reached 27 states, and this year, we’re hoping to grow that number and get even closer to lighting up the entire map!
New this year, DMAIG supporters can fundraise through THON Nation. THON Nation is an online fundraising community that allows alumni, family, and friends to support Penn State THON in the fight against childhood cancer. Whether you choose to make a donation or fundraise through THON Nation, every contribution helps us continue our mission For The Kids. Visit our THON Nation page HERE.
Supporters are also welcome to donate via Venmo or PayPal at our username, @dmaig
When you make your donation, be sure to share what state you’re supporting us from so we can fill in our map! Every contribution brings us one step closer to a future where no parent will ever have to hear the words, “your child has cancer.”
Throughout September, we’ll share updates on our progress, highlight state-by-state participation, and celebrate our collective impact. With your support, we can light up the map with THON Alumni pride and show the world what it means to be For The Kids from coast to coast.
Follow along on our social media throughout the month for updates!
