We fought the yawn!

-4 days since UTD

Up Til' Dawn was a total success! Between our letter writing campaign and Up Til Dawn event, our chapter raised over $12,000 for St. Jude!! That's a huge amount for such a small chapter, & we're super proud.

This was our first year putting on Up Til Dawn, and now we have everything thought out. For example, next year, girls working the pie-in-the-face booth will be wearing t-shirts and old jeans...not $100 dresses...we didn't anticipate having pie fly out of the pan and onto our bods. Also, we'll bring more towels for the volunteers to clean up with. We'll definitely need more whipped cream next year if Petrich volunteers again--his classes are REALLY hard, and he also gave extra credit to students who threw a pie in his face. He raised probably half of the $82 just from the pie booth!

Thank you to all of you who stopped by and/or donated. We're so honored to present St. Jude with all that money!!
