This year\u2019s RhodyTHON welcomed eight children who are current or recent patients at Hasbro Children\u2019s Hospital and their families, which helped set the tone for a fun and uplifting event. The event showcased the spirit and enthusiasm of the young patients, often putting them in new and different roles\u2014giving them the opportunity to be involved in guided meditation, Zumba classes, pickleball and more. Exposing the Miracle Kids to activities they don\u2019t get to have on a daily basis provided an exciting and memorable experience while giving them the chance to make lasting connections with 溏心vlog免费B站 students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the support and participation of hundreds of 溏心vlog免费B站 students, nearly $58,000 was raised for the Children\u2019s Miracle Network and Hasbro Children\u2019s Hospital. It brought RhodyTHON\u2019s eight-year fundraising total to more than $750,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RhodyTHON would not be possible without the help of its executive board led by Isabella Leggett. Advisors, directors and 25 chair members help this event run smoothly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amid the nonstop celebration, RhodyTHON executive board members performed a variety of choreographed dances at the top of every hour, with some of the Miracle Kids joining in and dancing to their heart\u2019s content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost every chapter in Greek life as well as BOND, pre-med, and pre-law chapters came out to ensure the kids had a great day. Playing games like volleyball, pickleball and spikeball put a huge smile on children\u2019s faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a place where students get to enjoy themselves and have fun while also supporting a really important cause,\u201d said Leggett. \u201cIt\u2019s special that they have the opportunity to impact these children\u2019s health and help in such an outstanding way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
