Mini-THON is more than a fundraiser—it’s a movement!
Inspired by Penn State’s THON™, Mini-THON raises crucial funds to accelerate life-saving research and support families facing childhood cancer by empowering K-12 students to lead year-long fundraising efforts that culminate in a high-energy, multi-hour celebration that’s filled with music, activities and meaningful moments.
It’s about more than raising money—it’s about raising each other up.
Increased funding for pediatric cancer research that drives discovery of safer, more effective treatments.
Direct support for Four Diamonds children through comprehensive care programs, covering 100% of out-of-pocket medical expenses.
The annual Four Diamonds Mini-THON Leadership Summit provides an opportunity for students and advisors to network and share ideas with other Mini-THON schools while receiving training from qualified professionals. This is a complimentary event for current and prospective Mini-THON students and advisors!
Thank you to our presenting sponsor, MI Windows and Doors, for your continued support.

No! Every dollar is needed and makes a difference in the fight to conquer childhood cancer. Four Diamonds helps fund extensive wraparound care through Penn State Children’s Hospital, which is only made possible through generosity like yours.
Funds raised support world-class care at Penn State Health Children’s Hospital and over 90 researchers working to cure pediatric cancer worldwide.
While Mini-THON was inspired by Penn State’s THON™ peer-to-peer fundraising style and supports the same beneficiary (Four Diamonds), Mini-THON’s primary aim is to engage K-12 audiences united in the fight to end childhood cancer. Additionally, Mini-THON and THON’s fundraising total reveals are not combined.
