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!

Our Families

The Pantanos
The Pantanos have four amazing children, Koan, Lana, Vinny, and Teresa.  Koan loves playing sports, and is currently in remission! 
The Garcias
The Garcia's are from Lancaster, Pennsylvania.  We adopted Astrid in 2015 and she just attended her second THON!
