Hello everyone,

The Stroudsburg Mini-THON team is proud to announce a 2017 fundraising campaign total of $100,292.80.

Thank you all for the help and support during this year’s campaign.

Stroudsburg Mini-THON is developed and run by our students. They and the participants in this yearai??i??s event deserve special recognition as they embody the virtues of charity and sacrifice. The students of Stroudsburg willingly gave their time and comfort to stand for those that canai??i??t.Ai?? These young people are a testament to the strength of our school and our community.

The students that run the event are listed below. Thank you for helping them get to where they are now. It’s your teaching, guidance, and mentorship that got them where they are today. They were able to rise to the occasion and do an amazing job planning and running a smooth event. While we always hope to make our fundraising goal, we are most proud of having had the pleasure to work with young people that are willing to do something that reaches beyond themselves and affects the lives of those that they do not know.Ai?? The students listed below began planning our 12-hour overnight event one year ago and deserve the highest commendation for their effort.
