This ONU all-nighter was for a good cause: Relay for Life
Lots of Ohio Northern University students stayed up all night Friday - and the all-nighter was for a great cause. ONU's 12-hour Relay for Life took center stage in the King Horn Center.
The campus Relay had raised over $10,000 toward its $17,000 goal before the evening began.
Monty Siekerman attended the Relay andtook the following photos in the booklet at the bottom of this story:

• Kappa Alpha Theta sorority was among many groups participating in ONU Relay for Life.
