$16.955m for the kids. Pretty incredible. My little cousin is a senior and was a dancer at Thon this year. 21 years after I did it. Really proud of her, and extra proud to be a Penn Stater today.
My sister is the chair of the mini Thon at the high school where she teaches and had the kids up there yesterday I believe.
