SHRM and SLER once again join forces for THON; Alumni Can Help

January 5, 2016

The Society for Human Resource Management - Society of Labor and Employment Relations (SHRM-SLER) is an organization dedicated to providing students with professional development opportunities in the fields of labor, employment relations, and human resources.

In addition to achieving academic and professional excellence, the organization strives to engage in beneficial philanthropic events.  Their favorite event is THON - Penn State's Dance Marathon benefiting The Four Diamonds Fund. This 46-hour dance marathon, the world’s largest student run philanthropy, raises money and awareness towards pediatric cancer research.

Since its inception, THON has raised more than $127 million. This year, THON Weekend will occur February 19-21 at the Bryce Jordan Center.

According to Julia Rose, Special Events Coordinator for SHRM-SLER, “With THON only a few short months away, SHRM-SLER is in need of donor support to help us raise money For The Kids!  Thus, we are soliciting as much online donation as possible.”
