When joining Springfield, what stood out to you the most?
When I first joined Springfield, I instantly fell in love with the family feel of this organization. The upperclassmen at the time took me under their wing and treated me like I was a part of their family from the very beginning, even when I was just another awkward freshman trying to find my home at Penn State. Something that really struck me was how our members included our Four Diamonds families in on that. The love that I saw every member pour into making our families feel loved and special made me want to be a part of this organization and never leave. The people in Springfield go above and beyond in making every person feel like they have a home through our organization.
What is your favorite Springfield memory?
My favorite Springfield memory was during the final four hours of THON 2019. During the “Where are They Now” video, we celebrated Calli Silbaugh reaching 5 years cancer free by holding up posters all over our section to say congratulations. Seeing how much it meant to the entire Silbaugh Family and being able to celebrate such an important milestone with them was so special. It was a moment that I will never ever forget.
