There's a Party In The BJC! "We Got That Dancing Spirt!!" THON!

Here are a few pictures I took at my school Dance-A-Thon at the Bryce Jordan Center, at University Park. The students of Penn State University dance for 46 hours non-stop to raise money to beat pediatric cancer. It's the world largest philanthropy ran by students. This year they raised $9.56 million! #PSU#GOTHON #FTK (For The Kids).
