Happy Holidays!

Hope everyone is enjoying your holiday break, just wanted to give everyone a quick update on Abington THON before the new semester starts.

Everything is going well. Two of our THON members officially met our family. From what we know our child is so cute and the family themselves are awesome! Can't wait to meet them at THON!

All THON members, remember this Friday we will be having a THON movie night at Amy's house. We will be viewing "The Four Diamonds" movie which was made by the Disney Channel in 1995, this movie is all about what the Four Diamonds Fund is about and why THON is apart of it all.

Keep selling those raffle tickets and hope to see you all this Friday!
