For The Kids · THON Fundraising
Let’s end childhood cancer.
MakeAndUpdate is fundraising for THON, Penn State’s student-run philanthropy supporting families fighting childhood cancer through Four Diamonds. Every dollar donated goes directly to THON — not to this studio.
10%
of all MakeAndUpdate project revenue goes to THON — every project, current and future.
It comes out of my revenue, not your budget: your project is scoped and quoted exactly as it would be either way. Hiring me to build your website helps a family at Penn State Health Golisano Children’s Hospital.
The goal: $10,000 For The Kids.
This campaign is just getting started. Every dollar is counted on THON’s own campaign page, and 10% of every MakeAndUpdate project goes there too.

My story
When you support THON®, you become a partner in the fight against childhood cancer. As part of my organization benefiting THON, I am working alongside 16,500 student volunteers to support over 5,500 children and families at Penn State Health Golisano Children’s Hospital — and to end the fight against childhood cancer. Since 1977, THON has raised over $273 million, For The Kids®.
I am committed to enhancing the lives of children and families impacted by childhood cancer, while building lasting relationships with the Four Diamonds families. Throughout the year, I am fundraising to support families today and in pursuit of finding a cure. It is my hope that one day every child has the opportunity to live out their childhood dreams.
Your support makes a real difference:
- Emotional & financial support — offsetting the costs of treatment that insurance cannot cover.
- Innovative research — enhancing treatment for children in Pennsylvania and giving hope to families worldwide.
- Awareness — spreading THON’s mission across the country and throughout the world.
Together, we can make a difference. Join me in the fight, For The Kids®.
