will you join us? will you fight for them?
will you #ImagineAWorld?
Sometimes, life can feel unstable, uncertain and unfair. The families of Connecticut Children’s know that first hand. But, they also know that beyond the hospital walls, there is a world waiting for them. One the hospital bands are cut, and once the hospital doors close, a world full of endless possibilities opens.
So if we asked you to Imagine A World, what would it look like? Would it be a world where a health burden does not become a financial burden? Where everyone feels their voice truly matters? Where there’s no fear of what’s coming next? This is the world that HuskyTHON has been chasing since the day we started dancing.
Where there is hope, where there is passion and where there is a clear mission, there is ultimately an opportunity for change. There are endless possibilities. Imagination knows no limit. Join us for HuskyTHON 2021 as we Imagine A World.
Our Vision
From humble beginnings, we’ve grown to become the largest student-run philanthropy in the state. We’re proud of that, but our work is far from over. For as long as kids need hospitals, we’ll be around supporting them. And while our efforts are always changing and improving, our core purpose remains the same:
Together with Connecticut Children’s, we believe in giving children the care they deserve.
Our Family
From 2000 to 2019, HuskyTHON has grown from making $13,878 to over 1.3 million dollars! This is all possible through active planning and fundraising throughout the year. The amazing growth success of HuskyTHON could not be possible without the hard work and dedication of our student-run Management Team, committee members, and all of our participants!
Together, we can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone.
Our Impact
HuskyTHON 2019 raised a total of $1,328,402.19 for Connecticut Children’s. Connecticut Children’s is a nationally recognized, 187-bed non-profit children’s hospital serving as the primary teaching hospital for the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. The money raised by HuskyTHON helps them continue their mission of giving kids the care they deserve.
Sometimes in life there is that moment when it’s possible to make a change for the better. HuskyTHON is one of those moments.
