UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (WHTM) -

Penn State students broke an all-time fundraising record at this year's THON dance event.

When added to money raised throughout THON's 41-year history, the total amount has now topped $100 million dollars.

Head football coach Bill O'Brien spoke to the?dancers Sunday afternoon, calling Penn State "the best university in the world."
