Rock 4 the Cure

On Tuesday night, TKE held a concert to benefit the St. Jude's Children Hospital in PAWS. They had four different local Towson University bands performing at the concert. They also had a date auction in between the different performers to auction off the brothers of TKE for a date. The bidding started at $10 and each brother came with a gift certificate to a local restaurant. 

This event was quite a success. They raised a lot of money for the St. Jude's Children Hospital and it was very well attended. Now this may be due to the number of people that are involved in greek life on campus, however it does go to show the involvement of greek life on the campus. If more organizations could reach out to the campus like the greeks do for events, then their events would be much more highly attended and would be an even greater success. 

Karaoke for a Cure

Last Thursday, the LeaderShape Student Organization hosted a karaoke night in PAWS to benefit the American Cancer Society. It cost $1 per person per song and $5 to kick someone off stage. There was also a raffle for 2 movie passes and 2 tigerfest tickets. 

This was a really fun and a very well attended event. Many people even got up to sing twice or three times. I think that Towson should have more events like this, where people can come together have a good time and donate money to a good cause. Now Towson does have many events like this, but most of the time they aren't very well attended. Maybe having prizes and being able to make fun of your friends if they are making a fool of themselves on stage is an incentive that more organizations should try. That way, more people may attend and the event would be a success.
