About
"State A Thon brought me the opportunity to meet people outside of my major who I would have never met otherwise. These people have now become some of my closest friends!" - Kayley Moll, State A Thon member

State A Thon is a student-led organization at SDSU dedicated to supporting the Children's Miracle Network. Each year, our fundraising efforts benefit local children and families by covering medical-related expenses such as meal vouchers, gas mileage reimbursements, and hotel stays. Our main event brings together families who benefit from our support and the student participants who drive our mission.

Your donation on One Day for STATE will make a significant impact by covering operational costs for our program, which are typically deducted from our total annual fundraising. This support ensures that more of the funds raised by participants can go directly to Sanford Castle of Care, benefiting miracle families in South Dakota and the surrounding areas.

By contributing, you help us:

  • Cover Operational Costs: Fund essential expenses for running our program, allowing more of the year’s efforts to support families.
  • Raise Awareness: Support our year-long activities that increase awareness of children's health and strengthen our impact.

State A Thon is the largest student-led organization on campus and one of our cherished traditions, with around 350 students participating annually. Your support helps us continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of local miracle kids and families.

Together, we can enhance our efforts and expand our impact, making a lasting difference in our community.
