"We all do it because it's a really good cause," said Alan Reed, Northwest's Up ‘Til Dawn fundraising co-chair. "It's a great cause to raise money for children with cancer. While the children are there receiving treatment they don't have to pay a dime. It costs a lot of money to operate the hospital, so anything we can do to help out I think is well worth it."

Despite the snow on the ground and cold temperature, three Northwest students and one faculty member jumped into Colden Pond yesterday to raise awareness for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
Together they raised over $3,680.00.
By joining Up Til' Dawn at Northwest, you can make a difference in the lives of little kiddos with cancer!
Oh...and if you get involved, it doesn't mean you have to jump in Colden Pond. Students and faculty volunteer to jump.
