By AJ Aronstein | March 1, 2005

Dance Marathon co-Chair Ann-Henley Saunders said that planning for this year's event, which garnered more than a quarter million dollars, began when "we walked out of Mem Gym last year."

Roughly 1,000 students came in and out during the event's "open hours" period, Saunders said.
