I have little doubt that this number will be imprinted on my brain forever. Because this number, this number, is the number that represents how much money Lower Dauphin raised for the Four Diamonds Fund at its fifth annual MiniTHON. This number represents all the hard work, dedication, sweat and tears that each committee member put into making this year's MiniTHON a success.
Words cannot even describe how this number makes me feel. It has made all the late nights, all the organized folders, and all of the five million papers spilling out of my orange binder completely worth it. Because the next time I look down at the adorable, smiling face of one of the many Four Diamonds children and siblings whom the Four Diamonds Fund helps every day, I can think to myself, "I've made a difference in the life of this child. WE'VE made a difference in the life of this child."
I've never been more proud of my school. Let's face it, we all know that LD isn't exactly bursting at the seams with school spirit. But I think it's safe to say that this year at MiniTHON, we experienced the closest thing to a show of school spirit that LD has ever experienced. And we experienced it FTK.
I guess what I'm saying is, thank you. Thank you for donating, thank you for participating, thank you for caring.
Together, we've made a difference in the lives of these children, and so many more <3
