More than 30 teams comprised of Slippery Rock University students stayed "Up 'til 2" Feb. 10 at the ARC to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The event surpassed its goal of raising $20,000 for Memphis, Tennessee-based St. Jude, which annually treats more than 7,500 children suffering from childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. The six-hour program - which included games, prizes, food, music and even some head shaving - featured participating students raising $50 or more to compete in hourly activities and challenges in support of St. Jude patients. More than 75 percent of St. Jude's funding comes from public contributions. Families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing or food.
