accept the Excellence in Fundraising Award for York Suburban
at the 2016 MiniTHONⓇ Leadership Summit.
For the fourth year, students at York Suburban High School, will host MiniTHONⓇ to raise money for Four DiamondsⓇ and Penn State Children’s Hospital. Last year over 400 dancers stayed on their feet from 9 pm to 7 am and raised $60,058.16 for pediatric cancer research. In early August seven students attended the MiniTHONⓇ Leadership Summit in Hershey along with 900 others from across Pennsylvania, York Suburban was given the award for Excellence in Fundraising for the entire state.
In addition to the dance marathon, students raise funds throughout the year. On Friday, August 26, the students will host a Community Movie Night in the stadium. Admission will be $2 and there will be face painting, sno-cones, food, and of course a great family movie – Zootopia. The grounds open at 7 pm and the movie starts around 8:15 pm. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for students/children.
