Staying connected to THON

Story posted February 17, 2013 in


Lauren Busik is a Penn State alum who lives four hours away from the University Park campus in New Hope, Pa. Every year she tunes into social media and the news to get updates on THON. She says she is surprised at the progress of technology, she never thought it would be this easy to stay connected. Busik donates to THON every year so it's a special moment for her to see where her contributions are going when they reveal the total at the end of the weekend.
