Geaux Above With Dance Marathon at LSU

This week, Dance Marathon at LSU released its fundraising campaign for the 2017-2018 school year.  The ABOVE campaign is more than just five letters; it’s what those five letters stand for that will push LSU students to fundraise for the kids at Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital.

All together

Building tomorrow

Overcoming obstacles

V Five years of making miracles

Exceeding expectations
