The Residential Learning College is holding a dance marathon on Nov. 6, 2009 to raise money for an organization known as Project Kindle. The non-profit organization provides cost free services to adolescents and their families who are infected or affected by HIV/AIDS.
There will be four hours of dancing from 8pm to 12am and all attendees are asked to make an $8 donation upon entrance. Project Kindle, formerly known as Camp Kindle, has multiple camp sessions a year for children and teens who have HIV/AIDS.
"I think it's beneficial for the children to meet other kids who are going through the same disease that they are going through so that they don't feel alone," said Kelli Beck, a Senior and theatre major at Cal State Long Beach.
Other schools that have held dance marathons to raise funds for Project Kindle are UCLA and Northwestern University. The latter raised a total of $586,666.
