What Is miniTHON?
According to Four Diamonds miniTHON is a multi-hour, interactive, fun-filled event that is student led. Students raise awareness of childhood cancer and funds for Four Diamonds. MiniTHON inspires teamwork, leadership, and creativity while empowering young people through philanthropy and service. All proceeds raised by miniTHON go directly to Four Diamonds. At Northern Lebanon High School, we have a twelve hour miniTHON and we spend the night dancing, enjoying fun activities with friends, peers and teachers, and stay standing! MiniTHON is a wonderful experience and it goes to a great cause!
About Our miniTHON
Last year was NL’s first year hosting a miniTHON. The idea was brought to us in early spring by Jocelyn Arnold and Katie Root. Because we had a late start, it was a full sprint to get everything together in time and to raise as much money as possible. Our fundraising goal was $5,000 but we blew that out of the water by earning over $17,000. Since our school has become a part of the THON movement you can see a definite change in the attitudes of people. Anyone can be apart of the miniTHON by going to the meetings, fundraising, or making posters. MiniTHON is a fantastic experience for a great cause.
