'Up 'til Dawn' fundraiser for St. Jude has new twist

There will be a new format at “Up ’til Dawn,” an annual event at SUNY Fredonia that raises money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Students are asked to form teams of six and raise $100 each. Teams are invited to Steele Hall for “Up ’til Dawn,” which gets underway on Saturday, Nov. 16, at 11:30 p.m. and continues for six and a half hours, through Sunday, Nov. 17, at 6 a.m. Team members will compete in fun challenges and earn points which will eventually turn into prizes. Plenty of food, music, prizes and fun will be offered.

A celebrity guest from MTV and two-time cancer survivor, Diem Brown, will join the event and share her story.

The event, which is free and open to the campus community, is sponsored by Fredonia for St. Jude.
