I am not sure if they should have used this same name for the event. I mean I like the cause but the name doesnt seem to fit the bill. The posters themselves like to make fun of the situation. There is a kid in a wheel chair with people standing next to him. I think it almost makes fun of people in wheel chairs… I don’t know what I would name it but i am not so sure i would have a standathon. Either way I’m glad the event went well.
For those of you not familiar with the event I have this next information from the Bay Cliff Health Camp…
The Residence Life at Michigan Tech University is pleased to inform you of a new event on campus–Standup for Disabilities. The purpose of this event is to make the students and community in the Keweenaw District more knowledgeable about the difference they can make in the Upper Peninsula. The event encourages students to collect pledges from family members and friends, based on how many hours the student stands for the duration of the event. All pledges will be donated to Bay Cliff Health Camp, a summer therapy center located in Marquette County, serving physically disabled children throughout the Upper Peninsula and Northern Lower Michigan.
