Hamptons Talbot Thon exceeds fundraising goal by nearly $9,000
The goal of Hampton High School's March 22 fundraiser was to raise $30,000.
“Our students and the Hampton community absolutely blew us away with their efforts at this year's Talbot Thon!” The school district's Facebook page reported the next day. “The big reveal last night was $38,929.44.”
Talbot Thon's beneficiary is UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, specifically its efforts in pediatric cancer treatment and research.
“Overall, it's a really fun and uplifting experience,” Hampton senior Halee Pilarski said of the annual family-friendly event. “You see the entire community coming together to fight a cause that really affects a lot of people, like my little brother.”
Will Pilarski died in 2017 from a brain tumor. This year he would have been a sophomore in high school.
To promote Talbot Thon, Halee produced a video telling Will's story and encouraging the Hampton community to participate. The effort apparently helped, as turnout appeared to be at pre-Covid levels.
“It really means a lot, especially my last year here, to see the turnout,” Halee said.
Fellow senior Hayden List, student body president, was also impressed and praised the preparation for the event's success.
“We spent a lot of time planning and planning the event. It takes a lot of effort and a lot of time to sort things out,” he says. “Advertising was a big thing we worked on, trying to get the word out for a great cause like this.”
Talbot Thon organized numerous activities throughout the school, from traditional volleyball and dodgeball tournaments to new offerings such as bocce and a duck hunt proposed by first-year students, where guests searched for small yellow replicas in the hope of winning a prize.
For the event, the Hampton Student Council partnered with the Pitt Dance Marathon, which took place March 23 and raised $357,084.52 on behalf of the UPMC Children's Hospital Foundation.
