Dance the night away for a good cause

Put on your dancing shoes and get ready to compete in the very first Dance-a-Thon, a benefit sponsored by Middle Earth to raise money for the Dr. Kimberly E. Esterman Memorial Scholarship Fund. (Middle Earth aims to raise $25,000 this year for scholarships to graduating seniors or graduate students enrolled in the UAlbany School of Education and pursuing advanced studies in alcohol and other drug prevention.) Dance-a-Thon is a continuous 24-hour event that will take place from 7:00 p.m., Friday, April 16th until 7:00 p.m., Saturday, April 17th in the UAlbany PE building. There will be round the clock fun with live music and entertainment, food, raffles, contests, and more.

How to be a Dancer! (Download and print the Dancer Application and Donation Form.) All Dancers will be asked to raise (or donate) money on the day of the Dance-a-Thon. The more money you raise, the better your chances of winning great prizes. Dance teams should turn in their application to Chad Waxman by Thursday, April 15th in the Counseling Center Building. You must also attend the Dancer meeting on Thursday, April 15th at 7:30 p.m. in LC24. Encourage your friends to participate in Dance-a-Thon or bring them along for �support� and to have fun!
