ABOUT:
Mini-THON is a student-run, multi-hour, no-sitting fundraising event for K-12 students, modeled after the Penn State THON, that raises money for the Four Diamonds program to conquer childhood cancer by providing funds for pediatric cancer care and research at Penn State Health Children's Hospital. Students organize and participate in fundraising activities throughout the year, culminating in an interactive event where they raise money "For The Kids" (FTK) and learn leadership skills while supporting families affected by cancer.

MAIN EVENT:
Wilson Mini-THON is a non-profit, annual fundraiser consisting of a 12-hour, no-sitting event. The participants, also referred to as "dancers," are high school students of all grades, who raise a minimum amount of donations in order to participate. At Mini-THON, students are entertained throughout the night by various activities such as lazer tag, escape rooms, class wars, raves, talent shows, Zumba, and much more! Additionally, Four Diamond Families come and share their stories with the "dancers." The event concludes with the Mini-THON Captains and Overalls revealing the total amount raised...all For The Kids (FTK)!!!!
