- Volunteers will ask you questions from the following form.
- We will assign each present a number so you can easily remember who each gift is for.
- You can choose to either sit in the parking lot to wait for us to wrap your presents or leave and come back later.
- Either way, we will text you when your presents are ready.
- Once you arrive in the lower parking lot, shoot us a text saying “HERE” and a volunteer will deliver your presents to your car.
- We will return the bottom section of the form so you know which number correlates to the which present for easy tagging.
We appreciate everyone following the social distancing rules required to make this event possible!

Raising $250 should be easy, right? By signing up for DonorDrive, fundraising should be easier than ever before!
Like previous years, there is a mandatory payment of $25 that will allow you into the actual Mini-THON event and provide you with a t-shirt. But for those who want to go above and beyond, we are offering something new!
If you raise $250 on your own, not only will this secure your spot in the VIP room, with seating, Chipotle and more, but it will also enter you into many different raffles! These raffles will include Pirates tickets, Prom tickets and a free massage.
Regardless of how much you want to fundraise, all students attending Mini-THON MUST sign up and make a small payment of $25 through DonorDrive. Students must turn in this money before or on February 28th to secure their t-shirt order. Any payments made after this date will not get a t-shirt, but this cost will cover all of their food the night of.
We want this year to be more successful than ever, so come out, fundraise and always be #FTK!
GS Mini-THON would like to thank every student that volunteered to help can!
