WHO WE ARE?

We are a student-run organization that fundraises all year long for Four Diamonds. Our mission is simple: to fight for a cure for childhood cancer. More than half of our student body participates, along with many dedicated faculty members who help make the event possible. Together, we stand and dance for those who cannot.

WHY WE DO IT?

The impact of this organization on families is inspiring. When a child is diagnosed with cancer, families face not only an emotional battle but also a financial burden. Four Diamonds helps relieve that burden by covering 100 percent of medical expenses not paid by insurance. This allows families to focus entirely on their child’s health and recovery without the stress of finances. Over the past 13 years, South Fayette Mini-THON has raised more than $2 million in support of this mission. This year, our goal is to raise over $351,000 as we continue working toward a cure and standing alongside the families who need us most.
