Sounds official huh? Anywho, the 3rd canning weekend total is in and we raised over $2,100 this weekend from our two locations. Great job to everyone. Only 2k away from our 10,000 dollar goal!
Don't forget that tomorrow is the Abington THON Dodgeball Tournament! It will be held from 3:00-5:00pm in the Athletic Building. All of the registration money and donations will go straight to the Penn State Dance Marathon.
Also one of our THON dancers, Anthony Pacitti, was recently interviewed for "The Daily Collegian" up at University Park. He was interviewed for his song submissions to the creation of this year's THON iTunes Mix. Anthony was quoted with the following:
"Anthony Pacitti (sophomore-information sciences and technology) requested two songs, both by Rascal Flatts, when the e-mail message was sent out through the Thon listserv to captains about two weeks ago. Pacitti, a family relations director for Penn State Abington, said the songs motivate him to do whatever he can for Abington's Thon child to make her smile. "[The songs] make you think a little more about why you're there," he said."
