"On Finance you have the unique opportunity to physically touch and see the impact that this organization is making on a daily basis and know that those dollars will go towards fighting childhood cancer."
The partnership between the two organizations could signal a shift in THON's culture away from the traditional stark competition between organizations and more toward a collaboration to achieve the same goals.
I am proud to be part of this student body that financially and emotionally supports Four Diamonds Children and their families. From firsthand experience, I know this generosity means the world to these families, especially the life-long relationships with THON orgs. So, it is out of my awe and appreciation for all that these organizations do for families, students, and the community, that I urge THON to go further. I challenge THON to address and discuss the root causes of this philanthropic need: the healthcare system in the United States.
The celebration kicks off November 8 and will feature the new "One Day We Will Dance In Celebration" campaign.
DonorDrive -- THON's newest fundraising platform -- will create a more compelling call-to-action for volunteers everywhere.
"I THON so that I can bring a smile to children’s faces and comfort and hope to parents. One day we will conquer this disease and I THON for that day."
