THON is a student-run philanthropy committed to helping conquer childhood cancer. Our mission is to provide financial support to Four Diamonds which helps to pay for childhood cancer care and ensure funding for critical research, provide emotional support to Four Diamonds children and their families and spread awareness about childhood cancer—all in pursuit of a cure.
As a community, we remain committed to the deeper meaning behind the funds we raise. This support ensures that Four Diamonds can help eligible families cover any costs of their child’s cancer treatment at Penn State Health Golisano Children’s Hospital that insurance doesn’t cover, allowing parents to focus solely on their child’s health. It also helps children create positive memories and moments of joy despite the challenges of their disease.
THON™ is able to donate 96 cents of every dollar raised to Four Diamonds at Penn State Health Golisano Children’s Hospital because of supporters like you. Your generosity creates moments of joy for Four Diamonds children and families and empowers our volunteers through year-round events, fundraisers and THON Weekend.
