Where do I fit in in all of this?
The Apollo universe is made up of four amazing constellations: Andromeda, Draco, Lynx, and Phoenix. Constellations provide an opportunity for members to create lasting friendships through more in-depth connection and specific constellation events. Each constellation is led by two seasoned veterans of Apollo known as commanders. Commanders act as a source of innovation and inclusion that members can build off of in order to continually push Apollo to be a better organization than it already is. Constellations are one hundred percent inclusive and give way to friendly competition within Apollo, as the Constellation Cup is the most coveted achievement within the organization. Each constellation, and therefore every single member, plays a huge role in making Apollo THON's best organization.
How can I get involved?
To start, attend a meeting. You will be sorted into a constellation, like Harry Potter except instead of a hat you are sorted by a computer. Through constellation-specific events, you will get to know a mix of new and old Apollo members. Throughout the year, we will also hold a wide variety of events from our Food Truck Fiesta to canvassing trips, all leading up to THON weekend! Leading up to THON weekend, we will focus on fundraising, but you can get a head start by visiting our fundraising page. Remember, this is all for the kids!

Sofia Carfagno
Hui my name is Sofia and I'm a junior studying Biobehavioral health. I'm from Royersford, PA. I THON because I’ve seen how cancer affected my family, and I never want our kids or our families to go through it alone. Outside of Apollo I like to do yoga, go on nature walks, and listen to all kinds of music. I love to learn, but I hate doing homework. I’m a huge fan of Harry Potter (Gryffindor is the best).
Fun Fact: I met Selena Gomez when I was in third grade

Laura Crawford
Hi I'm Laura and I'm from Youngstown, OH. I am a sophomore studying CIENT (Corporate Innovation and Entrepreneurship). I THON for many reasons. I’ve seen what cancer does to families as I’ve lost two people very special to me to the disease. I know how hard it was taking those who’ve lived a long life and those get it cut in half so I could not imagine having your child diagnosed. I truly believe every child should get to dream and have a chance of achieving those dreams just as all of us are working towards. I’ve always had a passion for helping others and with THON i can definitely fulfill that passion. Outside of Apollo, I love Penn State football with a passion as I’ve gone to almost every game since I was 14 months old. I also love art and dance, as I was a competitive dancer for 13 years. A hot take is, I call sprinkles jimmies:).
Fun Fact: I’ve been to 15 countries and 30 states!
