Thon

"My name is Faye and I'm a part of the NAACP chapter at Penn State and we're partnered with an organization called SMART, which helps admissions bring in minority students to make campus a little more diverse, and we have a THON child. Thon is basically our school's philanthropy that's student-run by 15,000 students; year 'round we raise money and we provide financial and emotional support as well as social support to the families, and to the researchers, doctors and patients at the Four Diamonds Fund and people that have pediatric cancer. So we're just doing it to help out."
