Four Diamonds fund, And PSU.
11 years ago
VEIWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED This weekend, I'll be spending my time up in State College, PA, and will either be at my brothers apartment, or at the BJC to support my sister at the Four Diamonds Fund's annual Dance Marathon, aka THON.
What is the Four diamonds fund?
The Four diamonds fund is the worlds largest student and alumni run fund, specifying in pediatric cancer. They've been raising money year after year, and are even developing enough to make a yearly amount just now in the tens of millions.

(Also, YouTube is a great source of information on them)
What is THON?
THON is an event at the Bryce Jordan Center where a lot of the money is raised, and the yearly amount raised is announced. FTK is a term commonly used, standing for "for the kids". Each child is sponsored by a sorority/fraternity. These students help is greatly appreciated.
Why is the Four Diamonds Fund important to me?
For the past near 13 years, my younger sister has been battling with brain cancer. Oncologists have been working with her and my family for as long as I can remember, and the fund covers the potentially crippling hospital dues, all the while supplying money for cancer research.
So, I usually don't do this, but I strongly encourage people to take a look at the website, do some research, and consider donating...
So that's where I'll be this weekend! If there's anybody in the area, let me know! I may be able to meet up!
