CV THON Feb 27-28th FOR THE KIDS
As you have read here Penn State’s THON was another ringing success, raising over $7.8 million in funds (and increasing the awareness) for the fight against pediatric cancer.  As I mentioned before, the funds raised go the Four Diamonds Fund which has, as it’s mission:
…to conquer childhood cancer by assisting children treated at Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital and their families through superior care, comprehensive support, and innovative research.
Any family with a child being treated for pediatric cancer at Penn StateHershey Children’s Hospital is automatically eligible for support.
But wait-there’s MORE!
Cumberland Valley High School has their THON Dance Marathon this coming weekend. Â High school kids couldn’t sit by and watch Penn State students raise all the funds. Â They too were moved to help in the fight against childhood cancer. Â They too wanted to contribute in not only money, but time and passion. Â They too wanted to dance to victory over Pediatric Cancer.
So they will have their THON dance, February 27th-28th, 2010.  Learn more about CV Thon here.  Or see pictures from last year’s CV THON.

It sure feel great to contribute in not only money, but time and passion. Good luck kids!
