A volleyball tournament continued a long-standing tradition during the annual Talbot Thon fundraiser on March 22, 2024, at Hampton High School. This year’s Talbot Thon will be held Saturday, April 26.

The Hampton School District’s annual Talbot Thon fundraiser will be held from 3:30 to 11 p.m. Saturday at Hampton High School.

The high school Student Council partners with the Pitt Dance Marathon to organize the event. This year, they hope to raise $30,000 for UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh’s pediatric cancer treatment and research.

Last year’s Talbot Thon exceeded the same goal, raising nearly $39,000.

During the thon, students will compete in various events, including dodgeball, volleyball, food-eating contests, lip sync battles and yard games.

During community hours from 5 to 7 p.m., Hampton families and community members are invited to eat, play games and watch the competitions. A basket raffle also will be held for residents, students and their families.

Those unable to attend can make a donation online.
