9th Annual Berks Benefitting THON Inspire the Night Benefit Dinner

Some say THON is not a place or a destination, but a feeling that is created for 46 hours. Through our Annual Inspire the Night Benefit Dinner, you will be transported to a place where you will experience the feeling that is beyond belief. The evening will invite you on to the "floor" to be a part of the magic that is THON.

Penn State Berks Benefitting THON is hosting the 9th Annual Inspire the Night Benefit Dinner. From speakers to games, raffles and live auctions, dancing the night away, and meeting our local Berks County THON families, the evening will be packed with memorable experiences. You will walk away from the night united in the fight and bring us one step closer to finding a cure for pediatric cancer. This event will include business and community members from the Berks County region and beyond for a night to experience THON, as we honor a significant benefactor to our organization with the Lead Believer Award. Come grab your pass to Inspire the Night!

The event’s intention is to immerse our guests in the world of THON by raising funds and awareness for pediatric cancer. Inspire the Night will be held on Friday, January 16, 2026, at the Reading Fightin Phils Redner's Event Center from 6-10 P.M.
