Nate Blass experiences THON from opposing perspectives, because he is a volunteer and a Four Diamonds child.

Volunteering in High School

Blass, who has fought cancer for the last eight months, learned about THON five years ago during his junior year at Cumberland Valley High School. He didn’t know about his school’s 15-hour mini-THON until the day of the event.

“One of my friends asked if I was going,” Blass said. “It turns out a bunch of my friends were going, and I went and had a lot of fun.”

Blass fully bought into THON after seeing Cumberland Valley’s Family Hour.

“I was sold on it,” Blass said.
