CV Mini-THON is preparing for its annual 12-hour dance maraTHON which will be held on March 8th from 7 PM-7 AM. The event raises money for Four Diamonds which aims to conquer childhood cancer. CV Mini-THON is a student-run organization that works all year to raise money up until the night of Mini-THON. Cumberland Valley is proud to be part of such a wonderful organization. In 2023, CV Mini-THON raised $320,146.23 during its year-long fundraising efforts, and we're striving to raise even more this year! Over the past seventeen years, Cumberland Valley has raised over $3,000,000.
On this site, you will find important details regarding the 2024 event and how it will run. The 12-hour schedule, menu, and activities are available and feel free to contact us with any remaining questions. Dancers pay to attend this overnight event, where they are entertained by nonstop activities. There are several bands and a DJ to provide musical entertainment. There are also numerous games and activities, such as dodgeball and basketball tournaments. Highlights of CV Mini-THON include the Pep Rally, Super Mario Bros Tournament, Techno Rave, and Family Hour, where families of children helped by Four Diamonds speak to the dancers. Throughout the 12 hours, dancers are fed dinner, breakfast, and snacks. Our student leadership team is beyond excited to return to a 12-hour event, and we hope to make the process easy and understandable for you and your family. Below you will find a recap video from last year to better understand what this event looks like, as well as more information about our organization. We cannot thank you enough for your support and FTK.

The event raises money for Four Diamonds, which aims to conquer childhood cancer. Four Diamonds aids patients at the Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital by offsetting the cost of treatment that insurance does not cover. It also pays for expenses that may disrupt the welfare of the child (such as car repairs, rent, or household utilities), supports the medical team that cares for the children, and funds pediatric cancer research. Since 1972, Four Diamonds has helped more than 4,800 families. Thanks to Mini-THON events, no family has ever been turned away!
