ChargerTHON at Albuquerque Academy
ChargerTHON is a student-led organization at Albuquerque Academy dedicated to raising funds for the New Mexico Children’s Miracle Network Hospital. High school students take charge of organizing and running a variety of fundraisers and events, including hot cocoa fundraisers, bake sales, "Pie in the Face" events, and many other creative initiatives. From making their own signs and decorations to planning every detail of the events, students do it all. Run by students, for students, ChargerTHON’s goal is to create a fun and engaging experience while supporting our local children’s hospital.

Surgeon
​
Why did you join ChargerTHON?
​I joined ChargerTHON because I wanted to help save kids and make a real difference in their lives. I’m especially passionate about supporting children in rural areas who often don’t have the same access to quality healthcare. Knowing that our fundraising efforts can help provide critical support to these kids and their families is incredibly meaningful to me. It motivates me to keep giving back and reminds me why I want to become a surgeon one day—to bring care and hope to the places that need it most.
