We're still reveling in the magic of Four Diamonds Mini-THON Leadership Summit last week! This day-long summit brings together student leaders and advisors focused on growth and inspiration to guide them as they plan their Mini-THON activities for the next school year. The day is centered on learning and collaboration, with students leading various break-out sessions to share their expertise and creativity. All money raised through Mini-THON events benefits Four Diamonds to assist families with children being treated for cancer at Penn State Health Children’s Hospital, and to fund innovative research at Penn State College of Medicine in pursuit of a cure for all childhood cancers. Congratulations on an astounding $6,272,608.32 raised in the 2023-24 school year!
