The PA Dairymen’s Association and its partner organization, Valley Grange #1360, have pledged a total of $10,000 through Penn State’s THON to support the Four Diamonds Fund’s fight against pediatric cancer.

The association made the announcement at the 98th Pennsylvania Farm Show, where it had invited Four Diamond families to attend and participate in the "milkshake toast." The event honored the 60th anniversary of the Farm Show milkshake. Among those in attendance were Gov. Tom Corbett.

The mission of the Four Diamonds Fund is to conquer childhood cancer by assisting children treated at Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital and their families through superior care, comprehensive support and innovative research. Any family with a child being treated for pediatric cancer at Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital is automatically eligible for support.
