PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Penn State's THON fundraiser for pediatric cancer research and care was once again a big success.



The 46-hour dance marathon was held virtually this year due to the pandemic.



Among those taking part was Makenzie Tobin. She's a senior at Penn State.



Her family transformed the Aqua String Band Clubhouse in Philadelphia's Bridesburg section for the event.



This year, THON raised $10,638,078.62.
