What does Mini-THON/Four Diamonds mean to me?
Mini-thon is unity. As an organization we bring together a multitude of people for a common cause. We are stronger together and as a result we are passionate and dedicated to this phenomenal organization. Mini-thon creates hope and ultimately changes lives. Students so young are making a difference in the lives of so many and I am truly privileged to be apart of this organization
Favorite UHS Mini-THON Moment?
My favorite minithon moment is Zumba at the minithon event. So much energy is created after it so we can power through the last few hours.

What does Mini-THON/Four Diamonds mean to me?
Mini-THON means hope. It means that kids and adults in our community and in several other states can unite to find a cure. Although we all have our differences and our own personal struggles, mini-THON gives us a chance to share our love & support for others who are fighting a tough battle. It means so much more than just raising money. It means friendships, fun, love, and a cure.
Favorite UHS Mini-THON Moment?
My favorite mini-THON moment was when we went caroling through the neighborhood in the holiday season. Some people brought out their whole families to listen and others thought it was just funny. At least we made their day!!!!!

What does Mini-THON/Four Diamonds mean to me? To me minithon means a chance to find a cure to pediatric cancer and help families suffering from pediatric cancer along the way. Cancer has affected too many people, and if there is a fun way to help eradicate it why not take part. Favorite UHS Mini-THON Moment? my favorite minithon memory was the leadership summit in Hershey because it allowed me to gain helpful information from other successful minithon schools. I also found it inspiring to see just how many schools are involved in minithon and to meet some of the families that we helped. |

What does Mini-THON/Four Diamonds mean to me? I have never been a part of an organization this big before, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to learn from this experience and help others. My family has been directly affected by cancer, and I am looking forward to raising money to help families through Mini-Thon. Favorite UHS Mini-THON Moment? I have enjoyed many things throughout my first year of being a part of Mini-Thon. Particularly, I enjoyed the fundraising aspect. Reaching out to people for donations online and in person; like canning, it gives me a sense of accomplishment, knowing that I am helping families in need. |

What does Mini-THON/Four Diamonds mean to me? Minithon to me means creating an impact. I enjoy being a part of Minithon and knowing I am helping patients and families affected by pediatric cancer. After my aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer my freshman year and seeing how it affected her and our family, I was inspired to join Minithon as I could only imagine how hard it must be for a child going through something similar. Favorite UHS Mini-THON Moment? My favorite Minithon moment was my first one, freshman year, when they revealed the total. Seeing the result of my and everyone else’s fundraising was so rewarding. |

What does Mini-THON/Four Diamonds mean to me? To me Mini-THON means hope and being able to support a cause which raises awareness and funds to support those fighting and cancer research. It means being able to make a difference in my community and to help those suffering from cancer. Being apart of the organization means a lot, and seeing that impact that continues to be created means just as much. Favorite UHS Mini-THON Moment? There have been many Mini-THON experiences and moments that I have enjoyed. Having participated in the dance itself, I've met a lot of people, made plenty of new friends, and have really learned a lot. However, if I were to pick a favorite moment it would have to be the rave at the end of the MiniTHON dance itself. It was the pinnacle of the night and was a great experience. |

What does Mini-THON/Four Diamonds mean to me? Mini Thon to me means being apart of an organization that is actively looking for a cure for cancer. Being apart of Mini Thon also means that we as an organization are working together to remember those who have died and to help those that still are fighting. I joined this club because I wanted to be apart of something bigger than myself. This organization is helping to end cancer and I want to be apart of that because no kid deserves to have cancer. FTK! Favorite UHS Mini-THON Moment? My favorite UHS Mini Thon moment has actually been one of the club meetings. One day we finished early and we had nothing else to do so someone suggested that we do a lip sync battle. Two of the club members volunteered to battle it out. They sung to Let It Go from Frozen, and it was hilarious.

What does Mini-THON/Four Diamonds mean to me? Being a first-time board member and long-time supporter of the Four Diamonds organization, it’s an honor to me that I get to be in the presence of so many strong children and families, and have the opportunity to do good and fight for them, while having so much fun in the process. Favorite UHS Mini-THON Moment? My favorite Mini-Thon moments so far would have to be the FTK Kolor Run last winter (it started snowing!), and being able to go to the Mini-Thon leadership summit in Hershey over the summer, and there being able to get lots of new ideas for our program from other participating schools, hear inspiring stories, and make new friends.

What does Mini-THON/Four Diamonds mean to me? To me, mini thon is a great way to bring people together in order to help fight for a cure to pediatric cancer, and a great way to support those kids who have to fight a fight that few people will ever have to experience. Favorite UHS Mini-THON Moment? My favorite mini thon moment is when at the event, everyone sings a “Angels Among Us”. It really brings a sense of togetherness and shows how great we are as a community when we come together for a good cause. |

What does Mini-THON/Four Diamonds mean to me?
Giving back to the community and trying to find a cure so that hopefully one day pediatric cancer won't be such a huge epidemic.
Favorite UHS Mini-THON Moment?
My favorite moment is when we hold up the signs at the end of Mini-THON showing how much money we raised last year because it not only showed me the impact we have and how much we donated but it also made me more determined than ever to raise even more money.
