Up 'til Dawn

One night. One cause. Our campus.” That’s the motto of Up ‘til Dawn, a student-led, student-run philanthropic program hosted by colleges and universities nationwide. Up ‘til Dawn unites students from all walks of campus life, staff and their campus communities with the goal to end childhood cancer once and for all. Students help raise awareness and support for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital through a variety of activities. Weeks of planning and preparation culminate when the campuses host an Up ‘til Dawn event, where they ask friends and family to donate to St. Jude and participate in games and activities to celebrate their efforts. Students honor the patients of St. Jude who bravely fight cancer. With the money their campuses raise, these students help advance the mission of finding cures and saving children ... so that patients can grow up and go to college, too.
