THON Children Juice Up BJC Crowd With 2020 Fashion Show
THON children brought plenty energy to a Sunday morning THON crowd, strutting out on stage for the annual fashion show.
The kids made their way out onto the stage to showcase this year’s newest looks and steal the hearts of the thousands in attendance at the BJC. Louis Vuitton: take notes, THIS is how you walk the runway.
This year’s theme was all about Lion King and the magnificent animals that roam the jungle. The captains on stage warned the crowd that they were about to go on a fashion safari.
First up, Shiloh and and her sister Harper Crimmel came out onstage to some Lion King music, donning pink shirts and colorful tutus. Both are huge fans of our Nittany Lion as well!
Carly Wilfong was next, wearing a colorful silver suit.
Eli, Ari, and Brooke strutted onto stage after Carly, all wearing neon fedoras and capes. *hat tip* “Cheers.”
Julia O’Toole was up next, wearing a colorful outfit complete with an orange water gun. Julia also has a YouTube channel launching in April, so the spotlight is just starting for her.
Abigail and Naomi Regalado wore bright, dazzling dresses while strutting out to center stage.
Daniel and Leila Testa, who are both big Philadelphia Eagles fans, wore multiple outfits. They kept taking layers off to reveal new looks, gathering roars from the BJC.

A big crew came out next as Elliot, Presye, Aliza, Eisley, Isaiah, and Piper Ross all wore colorful leis and tutus onto stage. Looking good, folks!

Mina Horan was our last stylish child to grace the stage, and took the stage for her first cancer-free THON! She went for a classic yet stylish look, with a white top and black skirt. But wait, there was a surprise on stage! Mina read a letter from a friend on stage, asking her to be the flower girl at her wedding. She of course said yes, and was met with a collective “awwww” from the Jordan Center.
That’s all from this year’s fashion show. From start to finish, the crowd at the BJC supported the models on stage with cheers and applause. Hopefully the fashion industry was taking notes, because these kids killed it.
