Because THON is a completely student-run organization, it has a unique ability to maximize
each donation, ensuring that no child ever gets denied cancer treatment because the family
cannot afford it. With THON’s donations, Four Diamonds at Penn State Health Children’s Hospital can
provide each family with access to superior care, comprehensive support, and innovative cancer
research.
