Dance Marathon – Culver’s Night:
Hey GHS! Mark your calendars for Tuesday, December 9th, because it’s time for Dance Marathon Share Night at Culver’s! From 5 to 8 p.m., come enjoy your favorite burgers, fries, and custard while supporting a great cause. A portion of the night’s proceeds will go directly to GHS Dance Marathon, which raises money for the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital in Iowa City. Every dollar helps support kids and families receiving treatment there — so by simply eating dinner, you’re helping make a real difference. Bring your friends, bring your family, and help us fill the restaurant with GHS spirit! Again, that’s Tuesday, December 9th at Culver’s — we’ll see you there for a fun night of food, friends, and fundraising for the kids!
