Up 'til Dawn finale celebrates 1 missions accomplished

SHATOYA HOWARD ASST. NEWS EDITOR sR.H725@CABRINI.EDU

Cabrini College's mission has always been to do community service· to help others in need. This means that all the clubs on campus must do community service and many of our clubs are initially geared towards community outreach. There is one club however, that has been working for months on various fundraising events to help a specific hospital, St. Jude's Children's Hospital.

Up 'til Dawn will be having their finale on March 31.

Executive Director Francine Clement said ''The finale is the end of the year party celebrating all the money we raised for St. Jude and this is also where we get the name Up 'til Dawn, by having a party from 8 p.m. till dawn."

Clement stressed that she could not have done this without the help of the other executive board members.

Anne Ferry also helped the board with the event, by workingto pull some strings.

In regards to planning fun entertainment for this event, the Up 'til Dawn crew actually went beyond what one would ever expect to see on this campus. Not only will this event have a famous reality television star but there will also be a music trivia game show where one can win prizes such as basketballs, volleyballs and a movie. Last but not least, there will also be a tarot card reader. a wing eating contest, dancing, a DJ. free food and much more, to stay home this year said Ann Boston, an agent at Crusin' travel agency on Lancaster Ave. in Wayne, Pa. Boston has been in the business for over 36 years.

For Up 'til Dawn members this event is free, and for the general public the fee will be about $20.

But it is important to remember that no family at the St. Jude Hospital, which researches cancer and other catastrophic diseases, has to pay what their insurance can't cover. So these families depend on public contributions and donations like Up 'til • Dawn to help fund their hospital.

Francine Clement said that "it should be a really fun night, celebrating our year long work of helping to save lives."

You should also be on the lookout for the selling of Up 'til Dawn shirts in the cafeteria for $10.

Clement wants everyone to come out and support the kids. Clement also stressed that there's something at this event for everyone and concludes that even live bands will be in attendance for avid music fans.

Sand, beach chairs and crystal clear waters are just some of the things spring breakers dream of when considering a perfect destination.

Most students choose all-inclusive packages that vary everywhere from Cancun to up and coming beach resorts on the coast of Texas. "It all depends on the student's budget. The average budget is usually between $1000 and $1200" Boston said. Boston also suggested cruise packages on lines such as Carnival which call run as low as $500.

One misconception that students may have about travel agencies is that more cash is going to come out of their pocket.

"Students tend to think that you can get a better deal online, w ·ch is 't e case. A travel agent can help you find the best deal and also help you if you run into any kind of problems," Boston said.

Whether it was training hard or tanning hard, Cabrini students received a much needed spring break. And for those who had a less desirable break than Cruz and Penrose, Boston said that it's never too early to plan for next year. Boston said, "Once students go away once, it becomes like a tradition they want to keep. Students always end up coming back for more."
