About

Wilson Mini-THON is an official part of the Penn State's Dance Marathon (THON). THON is the largest student-run philanthropy organization in the world, with all proceeds going to help fight pediatric cancer at the Penn State Hershey Medical Center. All proceeds raised through Penn State's THON and all of the participating Mini-THONs are directly given to the Four Diamonds Fund. The Four Diamonds Fund aids patients at the Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital by offsetting the cost of treatment that insurance does not cover. In addition to treatment costs, the Four Diamonds Fund also aids families financially by covering costs that by be disrupted to the child's ailment such as car rentals, hotel rentals, gas vouchers, any other uncovered bills.

The Event

Our 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 non-stop throughout the night by various activities such as class wars, RAVES, talent shows, teacher impressions, and much more! In addition to all of the fun and games, we also have multiple Four Diamond Families come and share their stories to our dancers. To conclude our event, the Mini-THON captains lift the numbers, and reveal the grand total for our Mini-THON.
