CB South's miniTHON!
Today, South students are joining the powerful movement to conquer childhood cancer by hosting their 2nd annual miniTHON.

Our incredible fundraising efforts of our students will culminate this evening, and we ask that you take a stand with us as #PartnersInTheFight™. Please feel free to join us in creating a brighter future for childhood cancer patients by visiting our miniTHON during community hour from 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM.
