Opportunities
Up 'til Dawn has raised a total of $885,000 on K-State's campus, and we want to reach $1 million this year. But we can't reach our goal without your help! Up 'til Dawn is excited for its annual Letter Sending Party Oct. 12th, from 6:00pm - 11:00pm (come and go) in the Union Ballroom. Form a team with 5 - 6 of your friends to write letters to friends and family, hang out with your friends, eat food, and win prizes! Participants who write 50 letters will get a free t-shirt. Up 'til Dawn benefits St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, where the overall childhood cancer survival rate has gone from less than 20 percent to 80 percent.
