Hampton High School hosted its first Talbot Thon on Friday, March 29, at the high school and it was a huge success, raising $55,909.23. The event replaces what was previously known as MiniTHON. A bevy of fun-filled events and activities were held to help raise money for the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation.

The high school will work directly with the foundation to ensure proceeds from the Talbot Thon are kept local.
