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

 

“The ABOVE campaign encompasses both a nod to the accomplishments of Dance Marathon at LSU over the last five years, as well as looking toward the goals we set for the future,” stated Dance Marathon at LSU Public Relations Director, Dorothy Travasos.
