Net Proceeds Benefit: The Four Diamonds Fund

Conquering Childhood Cancer

Dear Friend,

I am participating in a 12-hour Mini-THON at Dallastown Area High School to benefit The Four Diamonds Fund. The Fund provides a comprehensive support system for children who are being treated for cancer at Penn State Children’s Hospital in Hershey, PA. The net proceeds of our Mini-THON will directly benefit the Four Diamonds Fund.

I will be spending twelve hours on my feet, dancing, playing games and much more while at the Mini-THON event. Would you consider sponsoring me for this event? Donations of $10 or more are encouraged, although any donation is appreciated in helping me reach my minimum donation of $50. An item from your business could also be donated.

If you have any questions, you can contact our faculty advisor, Mrs. Shannon Werner through email at or phone at (717) 244-4021
