SALISBURY MIDDLE SCHOOL

Salisbury Middle School's Interact Club hosted the fourth annual 12-hour dance-a-thon to support the Prager Cancer Patient Fund at Lehigh Valley Health Network and Dream Come True.

The Prager Cancer Patient Fund supports oncology/hematology patients of LVHN for non-clinical services such as transportation to and from appointments, home services such as telephone, heat, light, wigs, laundry/cleaning help or other non-clinical services to improve the patient's quality of life.

Dream Come True fulfills the dreams of children who are seriously, chronically or terminally ill and reside in the Greater Lehigh Valley PA area. The children are between the ages of four and 17 years old.

Dream Come True is unique in that it is a local organization fulfilling dreams for serious and chronic illnesses not just terminal ones. They also offers dream recipients college scholarships and funeral expenses.

The students participated in the event 7 p.m. Jan. 30 through 7 a.m. Jan. 31 at the middle school cafeteria and gym.

Students attending the school were allowed to participate as long as they collected $30 in pledges.

Prizes were awarded for students wearing the best costumes for theme hours and those with the highest pledge totals. T-shirts were given to all participates registered by Jan. 5.

The Interact Club hoped to raise over $10,000 this year.

Salisbury Middle School held its annual dance-a-thon Jan. 30 and 31 providing a variety of activities for students to participate in during their 12-hour stay at the school. ABOVE: Students enjoy a basketball game while taking a break from dancing.
