  • THON™ Nation invites non-students to fundraise through DonorDrive and host fundraisers in support of THON. Hosting fundraisers, such as a group cooking or yoga class, is a good way to get to know new friends in your local community! Students, THON Nation is an amazing way to engage your organization's alumni and further your fundraising efforts! We spoke with Ed Schneider, an active THON Nation participant, to hear more about his involvement. To learn more about the Schneider family, head to THON News and read his full interview!
