Alpha Zetas Dance for a Cure
Alpha Zetas have been preparing for THON all year, from canning weekends and THONvelopes to spaghetti dinners and the first house “money jug.” In the end, THON 2013 raised a record-breaking $12.3 million for pediatric cancer research, exceeding 2012’s $10.6 million, and pushing the all-time total to over $100 million. That total made the entire 46 hours worth it for this year’s AZ dancers, Joel Smith and Rebecca Shaw, who also served as AZ’s THON chair.
“I’ve participated in THON since freshman year, and I’ve always aspired to be a dancer. It’s an honor to be given the position as the Alpha Zeta THON Chair,” Rebecca said.
Many generous alumni also contributed donations and support.
“We appreciate any and all support we receive from the alumni of Alpha Zeta!” Rebecca said.
