Rock For The Cause: Relay for Life

Rock 4 the Cause: Relay for Life is back! Last Thursday University of Missouri-St. Louis held its second annual fundraiser. University of Missouri-St. Louis students decided to support cancer survivors last Thursday night and held a Rock 4 The Cause: Relay for Life fundraiser for cancer survivors.

The fundraiser was sponsored by UM-St. Louis' own Alpha Phi Omega fraternity and was open to all students and faculty. Five bands were also sponsored to play and to help raise funds for cancer patients.

Rosewood, 75's, Nothing Still, Last Night's Vice and Ol 'Boi were featured throughout the evening. Nothing Still, who has put out three albums and one album on iTunes, performs for causes and for recognition. "We try to do as many [shows for causes] as we can as long as it's for a good cause," said lead singer Emilio of Nothing Still. Rock 4 the Cause was from 5:30 to 10:30 p.m. in the Pilot House.

UM-St. Louis students raised over two hundred dollars by participating.

Students who came were contestants in a raffle game and were able to win door prizes such as candles and were provided with nachos and dip, water and lemonade.

Alph Phi Omega raised $210 and gave away door prizes. Fighting cancer has become an annual event and an experience for all UM-St. Louis students who want to rock!
