    Who We Are?

    We are a student-run organization that fundraises all year long for Four Diamonds. Our goal is simple; we are fighting for a cure to childhood cancer! Over half of the student body participates and many of our faculty members also join in on the fun! We stand and dance for those who can’t!

    Why We Do It?

    The number of families helped by this organization is truly inspiring! These families face the harsh reality of having a sick child and also the financial burden of treatment. Four Diamonds alleviates that pressure by paying 100% of the costs not covered by insurance. This way, the families can solely focus on their child without the worries of payment. Over the past thirteen years, South Fayette Mini-THON has raised over $2 million! This year our goal is to raise over $351,000!

    A Look Back to 2025

    2025 marked a monumental year for South Fayette Mini-THON, setting a new record for money raised. We broke the national and South Fayette fundraising record for Mini-THON. This achievement would not have been possible without the incredible dedication of our students and the generous support of our sponsors, who make the event so memorable. Every dollar raised goes directly to Four Diamonds, and we are deeply grateful for the continued support from our donors and sponsors. On the night of the event, students came together to celebrate the impact of our efforts. Mini-THON is open to all students, creating an exciting opportunity for everyone to participate in a fun and meaningful experience. It was inspiring to see the entire community unite for such an important cause, and we can’t wait to make 2026 even bigger and better.
