Project Dance Community Service

For 4 of my community service hours I participated in Project Dance. A Dance-A-Thon put on through Stevenson and U-Give that raises money for Riverside Foundation. I have done this all four years of high school so I knew what to expect going in to it this time.
A month or two out, we had to pick a captain and she went to the meeting and told us what we needed to do. She ordered our shirts and told us we needed to collectively donate $300 which happened to be $15 per person in our group. I asked people around me to donate a dollar or two and people were overall very nice and generous about it so I was able to raise my money relatively quickly.
On the night of the dance-a-thon we got to school around 5:30 and all checked in and were given bracelets. The rest of that night we danced, hung out with people we knew, ate pizza and watched performances from people who belong to dance clubs in and outside of Stevenson. They also played a video at the end of the night talking about what Riverside is and what the money we were raising was planning on going towards. It was very inspirational to see some of the people that we would directly be affecting and how happy they were with our contributions. In total, Stevenson raised over $60,000 that night!
