At the 2025 Mini-THON Leadership Summit in Hershey, student leaders celebrated a major milestone: raising over $6.4 million during the 2024–25 school year to support Four Diamonds. This brings the total raised since Mini-THON began in 1993 to more than $77 million.

More than 225 schools across Pennsylvania and beyond participated in Mini-THON events, which are modeled after Penn State’s THON. These student-led fundraisers support Four Diamonds’ mission to conquer childhood cancer by providing financial assistance to families and funding life-saving research at Penn State Health Children’s Hospital and Penn State College of Medicine.

“Each year, it’s nothing short of extraordinary to see thousands of students rally together to help us conquer childhood cancer,” said Suzanne Graney, executive director of Four Diamonds.

The annual Leadership Summit, presented by MI Windows and Doors, empowers students with tools and inspiration to continue making a difference in their communities.
