It is modeled after Penn State’s 46 hour THON, which started in 1977 as a dance marathon to raise money for children with cancer. The THON event at Penn State is a spectacle to behold, filling the Bryce­Jordan Center with thousands of people, booming music, and a charged up student body. THON is the single largest student­run philanthropy in the world. To date THON has raised over 100 million dollars for pediatric cancer. FHS & LHS are planning BASD’s third annual Mini­THON. Students from both high schools have been working together year round to raise money for the cure of childhood cancer. Mini­THON is an event that will allow the entire community to “be a kid again” and become inspired. Mini­THON will be filled with incredible entertainment and diverse activities for 12 hours straight while “dancers” stay on their feet for the entire event. The money we raise goes to Penn State’s main THON charity, the Four Diamonds Fund at Hershey Medical Center. The Fund directly assists families who have children with cancer, helping to ease their worries about the cost of treatment & medical bills.
