Yes, PSU is the only college that participates. It has expanded to many high schools in the area and they hold “Mini Thons” with the proceeds going to the Four Diamond Fund. Thon began in the early seventies but became alligned with the Four Diamonds Fund in the late seventies. The Four Diamonds Fund was started by the Millards, a family that lost their son to cancer.
