A student-run telethon yielded a substantial amount of money for organizations that support people without homes. The total raised was $40,000, just shy of the students' goal of $50,000. This fundraising effort was sparked by a tragic event earlier in the year.

Further details about the telethon and the nonprofits that will receive the funds are available. The students' actions were a response to a situation that affected them deeply. A video update provides more information about the students' achievement and their efforts to address homelessness.
