Khloe Kardashian Promotes 100 Days til THON

Hi dolls! Happy 100 Days til THON!!!!!! I just wanted to send my love to everyone working their butts off getting ready for the big weekend, which is now only 100 days away! I will forever be touched by everything you guys do For The Kids and I’m so grateful that I was made aware about such a wonderful cause. For those of you who haven’t heard of THON, I’ll give you a little background. THON (short for Penn State Dance Marathon) is a student-run philanthropy that raises money for Pediatric Cancer. It is the biggest student-run philanthropy in the WORLD and has raised over $78 million since it’s start in 1973, raising $9.5 million last year alone. WOW! The students fundraise all year, going door to door, canning in the freezing cold and writing to friends and family asking for their support. The year of fundraising then culminates in a 46-hour NO-SITTING, NO-SLEEPING dance marathon! Anyway, that incredible event is now 100 days away and there’s still a lot of work to be done. Watch the video below for a closer look at what THON is really about, and then head over to www.thon.org for more information and to donate.

Good Luck to All My THON Dolls!

Khloe Kardashian sheds light on THON, the Penn State Dance Marathon, an organization that raises money for pediatric cancer.

I just wanted to take a moment to wish all of my dolls dancing at THON or working at THON the best of luck during this incredible weekend!!! For those of you who don’t know, THON (Penn State Dance Marathon) is the biggest student-run philanthropy in the world and it raises money for pediatric cancer. The students work all year raising money in any way they can, and the year culminates in a 46 hour no-sitting, no-sleeping dance marathon. Can you guys imagine 46 hours on your feet with NO sleep?! INSANE!!!!!! I’m told by people who have participated though that what keeps them going is the knowledge that the blisters, shin splints, burning eyes, and exhaustion are nothing compared to what these children endure. So that’s how they power through. Truly inspiring! (more…)

100 Days ’til THON!!!!!

November 10, 2010 / 116 Comments

Hi dolls. As some of you may remember, last year I learned about and was inspired by a charity called THON, also known as the Penn State Dance Marathon. It’s the biggest student-run philanthropy in the world and it’s devoted to raising money for pediatric cancer. A friend of mine graduated from Penn State and when she told me about it, I was blown away by the incredible dedication of the students involved and immediately began to blog about it. I was instantly greeted on my blog and on Twitter by thousands of excited Penn State students eager to educate me further about their cause. They work all year raising money for children with cancer, and the year of fundraising culminates in a no-sitting, no-sleeping dance marathon. Can you believe that?! 46 hours on your feet???? So insane! However, to those involved, 46 sleepless hours is nothing compared to what these children endure. (more…)

THON Raised $7,838,054 For The Kids!

February 22, 2010 / 51 Comments

When I found out that the Penn State students raised $7,838,054 for pediatric cancer research I seriously died…I just couldn’t believe it. I knew that it was the biggest student-run philanthropy in the world, but just seeing that number still somehow put me into a state of shock. Keep in mind these are STUDENTS who are devoting all of their college time to such an incredible cause — seeing all of their hard work pay off honestly brought tears to my eyes. ESPECIALLY in this economy, the fact they were still able to beat last year’s total is unreal and I don’t think anyone was expecting that.

I just wanted to do this post to tell the thousands of people who put their time, energy and heart into THON how proud I am of all of you and how much you have inspired me since I learned about your wonderful charity. Thank you so much for everything you do and keep on fighting. It’s because of people like you that I truly believe that one day we will find a cure.

For The Kids,

Khloé

To Everyone Who Donated to THON…

January 29, 2010 / 59 Comments

I just saw this article about how my post and my tweets helped raise awareness about THON and it honestly made me so happy. But it wasn’t just me who did this, it was all of YOU who took the time to go to THON’s website, learn more about the cause and donate. You should all feel really good about yourselves for giving back to something so wonderful and making a difference in the life of a child. I’m so impressed and inspired by what those Penn State students do and the level of devotion they put towards THON and I hope some day soon it gets the worldwide credit and attention it deserves.

THON, something that is already big, could one day become even bigger. We all just have to continue to spread the word. For those of you who want to catch all the action, you can actually watch THON weekend live on www.thon.org, so tune in February 19th-21st!!!

Thank you so much again to everyone who donated — beyond touched your generosity! xoxoxo

For The Kids,

Khloé
