  • Exciting News: The University of Memphis’s campus-wide philanthropy Up ‘til Dawn, which raises money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, just announced its total for 2014-2015- $206,811.  We are so proud of our students for their hard work and are celebrating our event being the highest collegiate fundraising event ever for St. Jude. Up ‘til Dawn was founded at the University of Memphis 16 years ago and has spread to over 250 schools nationwide generating nearly $5 million annually for groundbreaking research and lifesaving care at St. Jude. Go Tigers Go!
