THON total does unexpected, tops $9.5 million

With the reveal of this year’s fundraising total in the Bryce Jordan Center on Sunday afternoon — $9,563,016.09 — it seems there are no limits in sight for the Interfraternity Coun-cil/Panhellenic Dance Marathon’s fight against pediatric cancer.

In 2010, donations for THON exceeded $7.8 million in the fight against pediatric cancer, increasing from the year before by $347,920.49.

This year, that gap increased to $1,724,961.73.

Charles Millard, founder of The Four Diamonds Fund, said he was not predicting hitting the $9 million mark.
