CLUB FIELD HOCKEY THON
The THON 2018 Field Hockey Dancers!!!
Penn State Club Field Hockey is extremely involved in the Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon, a 46-hour no sitting, no sleeping event to raise money for pediatric cancer with the Four Diamonds fund at the Penn State Hershey Medical Center.
The Field Hockey Club has been blessed with three families, the Sidlers, the Thackers and the Popjes. Eli Sidler is an inspiration to all of us. Eli battled Ewing's sarcoma for 8 years. On June 24, 2012, Eli lost his battle to cancer at age 16. He has taught us to "just live life" and we continue to THON in his honor and memory. Nina Thacker has been the Penn State Club Field Hockey THON Child for five years. She is 18 years old and is four years cancer free! Nina was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma, like Eli, and is a beautiful and strong adult in York, PA. Daniel Popjes is a new THON Child to Club Field Hockey as of THON 2020. Daniel was diagnosed with a hepatoblastoma on March 8, 2019 and is still fighting his battle against childhood cancer. Daniel is a happy, bright 2-year-old and always has a smile on his face!
