Hey everyone, I’ll do my best to make this short and sweet. Thank you all for the hard work you have put into FOTO and THON this year, special shoutout to the dancers, you all killed it. I was extremely impressed with the relentless dedication you all had to remain standing and stay up during those early hours in the morning. Normally this is something you see from the seniors but I was shocked to see several juniors, sophomores, and freshman go beyond what was asked to hold the section, support the org, and motivate the dancers. You should all be proud of your accomplishments for this amazing cause. To all the Seniors (except Pete #victorylap) who experienced your last THON as a PSU student, I know it may seem like you’re losing a part of your life but I can assure you that your hard work will always be remembered. I can also assure you that there is nothing more rewarding then to watch those who you once talked to at the involvement fair work to become liaisons, officers, and maybe even the president of FOTO . You will always have those memories of THON and our three amazing families. To those who plan on continuing your journey with FOTO, I implore you to go out of your comfort zone and increase your involvement with the organization and even go out for a leadership position. This is truly the greatest org at PSU and I hope you all recognize the importance of the work we do. Thank you all again, I hope to see everyone soon.
Cheers,
Jake
Being able to come back for THON this year as an alumni was different but awesome. It was amazing to spend time with the families, meet all the new members, spend time with the old ones and just see all your hard work come together. THON weekend I was able to see that the saying “FOTO is family” is still one of the truest statements there is. Thank you for still making FOTO feel like a home for me! Thank you for showing me there is still magic and happiness in the world! Each and every single one of you are incredible. Your energy the entire weekend was great and really kept each other going and more importantly kept the dancers going. You should all be so proud of yourselves for an amazing year and for all you have achieved because I know every single alumni is extremely proud of all of you!! In a year with so many changes, you were able to achieve something so incredible and truly make FOTO even better than it was before. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to this awesome organization and for continuing to make FOTO great! FOTO has been left in great hands and has an extremely bright future! I cannot wait to see all that you continue to achieve! Love you all a whole lot and see you very soon!!
