Received an email about THON today, which included this:
Last year, THON raised $9.59 million for children battling cancer and gave nearly 97 percent of all funds raised to The Four Diamonds Fund. The Fund supports a team of pediatric oncologists, enables innovative cancer research through The Four Diamonds Pediatric Cancer Research Institute, and offsets the cost of treatment that insurance does not cover. Additionally, THON has contributed $10 million to the construction of a new Children’s Hospital at Hershey Medical Center, which is set to open in the fall of 2012.
Holy, holy smokes. Gives me chills. So beyond Penn State proud!
