24-hours of Christmas songs - all for Amelia
Story and photos by Monty Siekerman
Just about every Christmas song ever written will be sung at ONU during the Kappa Phi Sing-A-Thon.
Here, members of the group perform at the beginning of the marathon. The 24 hour continuous sing will find more than 100 students singing, in groups and individually, between 5 p.m. Friday and 5 p.m. Saturday raising their voices for a good cause...to help little Amelia Griffin from Ada who is battling cancer.
The sing-a-thon has been held for many years. The event is a project of the local chapter of the Christian women's service.
In addition to getting pledges for Amelia, several vendors were on hand for the Sing-A-Thon, including Cait Zimmerman.
She was selling "sprinkles" used to design your own candles. All proceeds from vendor sales will be given to Amelia for her medical expenses.
