Penn State Lehigh Valley Benefiting THON Dancer Send-Off Alumni donations

The Penn State Lehigh Valley Alumni Society raised about $10,000 for Penn State Lehigh Valley Benefiting THON through multiple community events. First through Penn State Lehigh Valley Day, which is an award-winning community event held in August in partnership with the Downtown Bethlehem Association. And more recently, through Dance for a Cure, which is a high-energy annual dance fundraiser held in January. They presented the funds during the Dancer Send off event on Feb. 16.
