On Friday, September 30th, faculty and staff of Ithaca College are asked to wear their favorite pair of jeans in support of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
St. Jude is a pediatric cancer research center where families never pay for treatment not covered by insurance. That being said, it costs $1.7 million to run the hospital each day, which is the organization Up 'til Dawn is raising awareness about the hospital's cause. If you would like to learn more or make a donation to help in the fight against childhood cancer, please email Tim Reynolds at ithaca.uptildawn@gmail.com.
Up 'til Dawn is a student led organization that helps raise funds and awareness for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The organization was based off of Danny Thomas' mission that "no child should die in the dawn of their life."
