Mount Carmel Area is hosting its sixth annual pediatric dance marathon which raises money for patients and their families at the Janet Weis Children's Hospital in Danville, PA. Over the last five years, Mount Carmel Area High School along with the local community raised $134,554.19 to help families ease the burden of unexpected costs during the process of treatments. We are hoping this year's marathon on November 3rd is bigger and better than ever!! Please help us beat last year's total of $42,136.23

Background:
ThinkBIG was named in memory of 9 year old Carmine Monacelli, who unfortunately lost his battle to pediatric cancer.

ThinkBIG's mission is to relieve stress of everyday financial expenses so families who are battling pediatric cancer can concentrate on treatment and healing. Families of children with pediatric cancer struggle with unexpected out-of-pocket expenses due to the significant amount of time that is spent in the hospital caring for their child and due to caregivers often having to take a leave of absence from work. ThinkBIG® is dedicated to minimizing this stress by providing financial support to these families for everyday cost of living expenses and unpaid medical bills.

Over the past 6 years ThinkBIG Mount Carmel has raised $ 50,021.58
