The campus community will dance the night away for a cause this weekend.
Pi Beta Phi sorority and Kappa Delta Rho fraternity will host the 28th Annual Dance Marathon from 5-5 p.m. Friday, April 20 to Saturday, April 21 in the Marlo Room, Farinon College Center.
To the theme of “I LOVE the 90s,” dancers will raise money through sponsors including local businesses, alumni, parents, and students, by dancing for 24 hours straight. The event also includes live bands, DJs throughout the night, games, activities, and will end with a lip-sync contest.
Each year, the members of Pi Beta Phi and Kappa Delta Rho organize, sponsor, and participate in the annual charity marathon. This year’s proceeds will go to the Spring Garden Children’s Center and the Children’s Home of Easton.
“We would like to invite both the campus community, as well as the Easton community, to join in the fun,” says Jesse Lagle ’09 (White Plains, N.Y.), Pi Beta Phi finance chair. “The theme for this year’s dance marathon is ‘I Love the 90s’ and there will be plenty of games and prizes to win.”
The Spring Garden Children’s Center provides daycare and educational services for children ranging from three months to 10 years of age.
The Children’s Home of Easton is a private, non-profit agency providing both therapeutic home and community-based programs for troubled children.
