Alumni Awards
Did you know that DMAIG gives out two awards every year to THON Alumni? At our THON Weekend reception, we present awards to the Volunteer of the Year and Fundraiser of the Year. These awards were created to recognize the immense amount of time and effort alumni continue to dedicate to THON and Four Diamonds, and to highlight the winners’ accomplishments.
Most of us have stayed connected to the cause, either directly or indirectly and know people who have truly made it their mission to continue to fight childhood cancer. We ask that you consider nominating a friend, colleague and/or organization that you know continues to support THON and Four Diamonds in their post-college lives.
Do you know of a Penn State THON Alumni Volunteer or Fundraiser that went above and beyond this past year? Nominate them for the DMAIG Annual Awards using the forms linked.
