Central York High School hosted its fifth annual CYHS Mini-THON Saturday, March 5. More than 200 students attended the event, which included food, games, and visits from Four Diamonds Fund families. The students raised $49,012.29 for the Four Diamonds Fund, which provides financial assistance and other support to families of children battling pediatric cancer and leukemia at Penn State Hershey Medical Center.



In total, CYHS Mini-THON has raised $183,429.67 after five years! That money will provide families with financial assistance paying medical bills, fund additional research and aid social workers and music therapists supporting pediatric patients, among other efforts.



The CYHS Mini-THON committee will continue raising funds and hosting events throughout the year to benefit this cause. On Monday, March 14, they will participate in a fundraising night, sponsored by the CYHS Optimist Club, at Chik-Fil-A. Click here for details.
