Mini-THON
Mini-THON is a 12-hour dance marathon starting at 9 AM and ending at 9 PM. During this event, around 500 Central York High School students stand and dance for the kids! Throughout the day, we have plenty of food, games, and activities for all students to take part in. This day is not one to miss for any student. A year's worth of planning goes into making this event extra successful!
Four Diamonds Mini-THONs are interactive events for students of all ages that inspire teamwork, leadership, and creativity while empowering youth and young adults through philanthropy and community service in the fight to conquer childhood cancer. Mini-THONs are modeled after the Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon (THON) and have been making a difference in the lives of childhood cancer patients and their families since 1993.
