WAYNE, PA — More than $85,500 was raised by hundreds of Radnor Township School District students and staffers at the second Mini-THON pediatric cancer event.

According to the district, Radnor Middle School's second Mini-THON event generated $85,545.73 while more than 400 students and staff members dancing from late afternoon into the night to raise funds in the fight against pediatric cancer.
