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 two families, the Pantanos and Garcias, 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!
