THON 2011- Penn State Students Raise $9.5 Million for the Four Diamonds Fund
Penn State University's 39th Annual Thon raised over $9.5 million, the most in the event's history. THON, established in 1973, is the largest student run philanthropy in the World.
More than 700 people participated in the dance marathon. In addition to the dancers, about 15,000 PSU students also volunteer on committees such as morale, communications, & public relations. The owner's daughter, Kate Gillespie, spent many nights volunteering with the Rules & Regulations Committee, "THONvelope", and working Security at The Bryce Jordan Center.
The money raised is donated to the Four Diamonds Fund, which pays for expenses not covered by insurance for children undergoing treatment for pediatric cancer at Hershey Medical Center. There are approximately 250 families benefitting directly from the fund. Also, funds are used for state of the art treatment and research.
Congratulations to all the volunteers!

Manasquan High School
"Squan-A-THON" Raises $40,100
On Friday, March 11, 2011 about 100 Manasquan High School students took to the dance floor for a 12 hour dance marathon. The fundraiser brought emotional support and financial assistance to families in our sending districts affected by pediatric cancer. Many local businesses are involved in supporting this event by providing music, food and refreshments. The owner's daughter Maggie Gillespie danced for the event.
We pray for a cure, but until then, we'll keep dancing.
