CLERMONT, Fla. - Feb. 2, 2026 - PRLog -- Educational Services & Consulting (ESC) is proud to announce its continued corporate sponsorship of the Penn State Dance Marathon (THON) for 2026.
THON is recognized as the largest student-run philanthropy in the world and is dedicated to enhancing the lives of children and families impacted by childhood cancer. Each February, THON culminates in a 46-hour, no-sitting, no-sleeping dance marathon at Penn State University, uniting more than 16,500 student volunteers in the fight against pediatric cancer.
ESC's connection to Penn State is both personal and multigenerational. ESC's continued sponsorship of THON honors ESC's founder, Connie McChesney. McChesney graduated from Penn State in 1980, followed by her son Fred in 2005, who passed away from cancer in 2008. Cindy Zimmerman, McChesney's sister, graduated in 1982, and Angela Milligan, Co-Owner and Chief Operations Officer of ESC, graduated in 2012.
"Our Aunt Connie's intention in founding this company was to create access to education and opportunity, giving people the tools they need to build sustainable careers," said Natalie Zimmerman, Co-Owner and Chief Strategy Officer of ESC. "At ESC, we believe that support for education and opportunity begins with children."
Milligan is a former member of the Women in Business organization. In 2012, she represented Women in Business as a THON dancer.
Natalie Zimmerman stated, "I received my MBA in 2025 from Penn State University, and there is no institution more meaningful for our family to support," Zimmerman said. "Penn State and THON are deeply ingrained in our history. We are honored to continue our participation in THON 2026 as a corporate sponsor and member of the Penn State University President's Club, and we look forward to supporting this mission for years to come."
ESC is dedicated to advancing professional education within the insurance industry. The company provides online certification courses for the 6-20 Accredited Claims Adjuster (ACA) designation and the 4-40 Registered Customer Service Representative (RCSR) designation as well as offers EDGE business consulting services.
ECS's 6-20 ACA program is a 40-hour online course. Upon successful completion of the final exam, candidates may bypass the State of Florida licensing exam and apply directly for their All-Lines Adjuster license.
Through its continued support of THON 2026, ESC reaffirms its commitment to giving back, honoring its founders' values, and contributing to the fight against childhood cancer.
