A Penn State University graduating senior from Lancaster, who has both benefited from and raised money for the university s annual THON campaign, got a big surprise on NBC s Today show Thursday morning.
The Subway corporation donated $25,000 to Penn State s THON as a tribute to Nick Vicidomini s work with the nonprofit, which raises money for the Four Diamonds Fund that supports families of children with cancer.
Vicidomini is a 2017 graduate of Manheim Township High School and a cancer survivor. This past year, he has been on the executive board of THON, serving as dance relations captain.
On the hour of Today hosted by Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager, a brief history of THON was presented along with Vicidomini s story.
With 19 commonwealth campuses across Pennsylvania, Penn State offers prospective students a plethora of opportunities to complete their undergraduate — and even graduate — education.
