6.6 million raised in Greek-run charity

[LionTamer]

The Penn State IFC-Panhel Dance Marathon raised $6.6 million dollars. This year alone.

$6.6 million

$1.2 million more than last year.

More news later about what sororities and fraternities "won" by raising the most money, but they're all winners with numbers like that.

What's great is that they raise the money for children with cancer who are being treated at Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, PA, and the fund-raising so exceeded expectations over the years, that in addition to helping the families and kids, now the money is going toward building a whole new oncology WING of the hospital.

Congratulations to the dancers, all the Greeks (and independents) who spent months out there canning and fund-raising, and to the Kids, which is what the whole thing is about.

Next time you hear that nonsense that "all Greeks do is drink and carouse", tell them about the Penn Staters raising 6.6 million for pediatric cancer.
