It was another record-breaking weekend in Happy Valley.
THON raised $12.3 million to help the fight against pediatric cancer.
The total shatters last year's record of $10.6 million.
Seven hundred Penn State University students danced for 46 hours to raise the money.
THON is billed as the world's largest student-run philanthropy in the world.
Students have now raised more than $100 million for the Four Diamonds Fund at Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital since 1977.
