Lion Ambassadors THON

THON is the largest student-run philanthropy in the world.  Lion Ambassadors participate in THON every year through canning, events with our families, and electing dancers to stand for 46 hours THON Weekend.  All of the money raised by THON benefits victims of pediatric cancer.  We have adopted three families, the Pantanos, Garcias, and the Frysingers, that have been fighting this disease.  If you would like to support our efforts, please donate and spread awareness to those that you know.  Every penny helps us get closer to our goal!

Our Families

The Garcia Family
Astrid is from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. We first met Astrid and her family back in 2015 and are so lucky to have her again for THON 2021. She’s funny, outgoing, and loves meeting all of the Lion Ambassadors. She also just finished up her Associates degree in Johnstown! It’s awesome being so close in age because we can relate with her on so many levels . We look forward to more hangouts and Olive Garden Dinners with her in the future.

The Frysinger Family
Noah loves superheroes, especially Spiderman. During THON weekend Noah spent his time attacking our members with his silly string spiderman “web shooter”, giving us big hugs, and chasing us with squirt guns. His bubbly personality absolutely lights up a room, and his energy is simply unmatched. In May 2019 our members attended “Noah’s Great Adventure” where we helped Noah defeat Thanos and collect all 6 infinity stones. Alyssa and Clay are Noah’s parents. They are an awesome duo. We thrive off their positivity and hope to strengthen our relationship as time goes on!
