Once again UCLA students are getting together to raise funds for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, Project Kindle, OneHeartland, and the UCLA AIDS Institute. They pledge to stay on their feet for 27 hours (and often dance during that time); they want the world to give financial support. This year will be my youngest daughter's final year at Dance Marathon... she is on the organizing committee, arranging for celebrities, DJs, singers and bands to appear and encourage the students. Go to: http://support.pedaids.org/site/TR/UCLAGFC/General?px=1068149&pg=personal&fr_id=1190 to see her page and/or to donate (click on the Support Sydney button).

Thank you.
If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

I've just received a PM that the site does not have a PayPal option, just a place to enter a credit card directly. I have donated for four years now with no evil side effects, but I can understand security concerns. Again, thank you to all who can donate, and to all who care as well.

Durning her freshman year, she set her goal at $250. Sophomore year at $500; junior year was $750. This, her final year, she set her goal at $1,000, which is the cost of sending one child to the pediatric AIDS summer camp. So far each year she has succeeded in surpassing her goals. I hope more here will join in with the smallest donation so she meets the goal this year, too.

Thank you.

Less than a week to go... last I checked, Sydney was just $155 shy of her goal... every dollar counts; please support the cause if you can.

Thank you.

I made one too.  I think this is a really fun idea for a good cause.

And anyone who wears pyjamas with pictures of Kathy all over them must be good!
Do you ever find yourself striving for perfection with an almost worthless attempt at it?  Guttermouth "Lemon Water".  Also, I include in my Profiler database VHS tapes, audio DVDs, audio books (digital, cassette and CD), video games (digital, DVD and CD) and 'enhanced' CDs with video tracks on them, as well as films and TV I've bought digitally.  So I'm an anarchist, deal with it.  Just be thankful I don't include most of my records and CDs etc in it too; don't think I haven't been tempted...

Her donations totaled a penny more than $1,340.00.

Her team raised more than $100,000, and the Dance Marathon was the largest ever, raising $451,144.03!

Here's another great link with videos and comments: http://storify.com/dailybruin/dance-marathon-2012

And an even better one here: http://mojo.dailybruin.com/category/dance-marathon-2012/

Thank you all!
