St. Jude - Up 'til Dawn

Up ‘til Dawn is a student-run, student-led fundraiser that benefits St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Northwest is hosting Up ‘til Dawn with the theme of “How to save a life.”

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is the only pediatric cancer research center where families never pay for treatments that are not covered by insurance, and families without insurance are never asked to pay. It currently costs $1.4 million to keep the hospital for one day.

Here’s you can save a life:

1. Register a team. Each team has 6 people, $5 per person. Forms are available in the Campus Activities office. Forms are due back by Nov. 9, 2006. Teams will help fund raise all year, beginning with the letter writing campaign.

2. All-Team meeting. On Monday, Nov. 13, 2006, in the Tower View Room, from 6 PM -11 PM. Each team member brings 50 names/addresses. St. Jude will provide pre-written letters, envelopes, and postage. The letters will ask for donations for St. Jude’s.

3. Stay Up ‘til Dawn! On March 9, 2007 teams will celebrate their fundraising success with an all night finale. There will be entertainment, giveaways and prizes will be awarded to the teams who raised the most.
