I’ve been involved with AbingTHON since 2015, when my family spoke at the event alongside my brother Shane, who passed away from pediatric cancer. Our foundation, Shane’s Future Days, is honored to be one of the local organizations supported by AbingTHON, which makes this cause incredibly personal and meaningful to me.
In addition to my work with AbingTHON, I fundraise independently to support childhood cancer research and serve as a student ambassador for cc-TDI (Children’s Cancer Therapy Development Institute). Outside of that, I was part of the GAPP exchange program to Germany this summer, I’m a varsity member of both the Abington Boys Soccer and Lacrosse teams, and I play club soccer for the Philadelphia Ukrainian Nationals ECNL team.
I’m proud to be part of the Recruitment committee this year and look forward to welcoming more students into this incredible organization!
Lead Chair
Gus Taborn
Hello, my name is Gus Taborn! This will be my 4th year participating in AbingTHON, and I have been blessed to be the very first lead chair of this amazing organization! Words can't describe how excited I am to be working with all the overalls, fellow chairs, and the captains to make this year's AbingTHON the best one it can be. Positivity is key! I started my freshman year as a member, but I was new to the school and didn't know anything, so I tried to participate. In my sophomore year, I started raising money and was able to participate. The following year, I became a captain for Communications & Recruitment, and now, I'll be the lead chair for my senior year. Since then, my commitment and love for this amazing organization have grown rapidly as the years went by.
Outside and along with AbingTHON, I'm very involved with Abington Senior High School as a whole, I'm a communication chair for the Female Empowerment Club of Abington, the editor for Key Club, an Arrive Alive leader for the Red Cross Club, a board member for the Class Council of 2026 and Lead with Love, a leader for Link Crew, and more importantly, involved in the school theatre department for 4 years doing the fall plays and spring musicals.
I'm very grateful to be part of this amazing organization with all these amazing people, and as lead chair, which is a new position, I will work with every committee to get things done, whether it be teaching the dance, welcoming more students, or even helping with scheduling for events, I will try my absolute best to make this AbingTHON outstanding and I'm very looking forward to working with all the amazing people.
