LETS GET INVOLVED!
Chapter Overview
Organization Overview
University of Memphis students and faculty looking to get involved with a worthy philanthropy
in their own backyard
Up til Dawn is comprised of traditional and non-traditional students as well as faculty advisors
and an executive board.
Up til Dawn raises money and awareness for St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital through
campus-wide fundraisers and events; last year fundraising efforts brought in more than
$120,000 for the hospital.
Big scale fundraising events like the All-Team Meeting/Letter Writing Party, can average up to
$100,000 of funds in just one event.
The All-Team Meeting/ Letter writing party is a campus wide challenge to all students and
faculty to write as many letters as they can to people they know and/or
organizations/businesses who would be likely to donate.
There are many different fundraising techniques employed to yield high results, like candy cane
deliveries and silent auctions.
Up til Dawn raises money for St. Jude in both Fall and Spring semesters
Fundraising efforts wind down in mid-February, when members are invited to come together
and stay up all night for the Kids.

The University of Memphis took top honors for the amount of money donated among the 275
chapters across the country.
Jon Campbell, director of leadership programs for the university, believes there is not another
chapter that commits itself more than the University of Memphis chapter.
