Cavanaugh Hall ' s signature event is the Cavanaugh Dance-a-thon. In previous years, the Dance-a-thon had been held in the LaFortune ballroom during February with mostly Cavanaugh residents attending. In 2007, the Dance-a-thon was held outside during March to encourage other students to attend. Cavanaugh also invites several organizations and clubs from around campus to perform during the Dance-a-thon. Various contributors donate prizes, and the residents of Cavanaugh sell raffle tickets the week preceeding the Dance-a-thnn. There are several drawings during the Dance-a-thon to win these great prizes. Previous prizes have included a free roundtrip plane ticket; iPods; and gift cards to various places. All the proceeds from the raffle tickets go to a local charity, St. Margaret ' s House, a safe haven for battered women and children. Every year, Cavanaugh finds a corporation to match the money they raise, and last year Cavanaugh teamed up with Wal-Mart to donate 4,000 dollars to St. Margaret ' s House. story by O iey Carney dance-a-thon Eleanor Huntington competes in Keenan ' s geography bee. photo courtesy of Eleanor Huntington Jf, Defense gathers in a huddle to ' devise a strategy against Farley. photo by Eleanor Huntington The 2007-2008 residents of Cavanaugh Hall. photo by David Prina cavanaugh 23
