On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese ….

Don't worry about supper Thursday, Feb. 24 because Western Illinois University's RockyTHON, a student-led organization that raises money and awareness for the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, has got you covered with an all-you-can-eat spaghetti dinner.

The event will be held from 4-8 p.m. Feb. 24 at the Macomb American Legion, 221 E. Washington St. Advance tickets are $7 ($10 at the door). The event is part of the student organization's year-round effort to raise money for Children's Miracle Network hospitals, St. Louis Children's Hospital and SSM Health Cardinal Glennon. The year-long event culminates March 26, 2022, with the 12-hour Dance Marathon, which honors the 12-hour shifts of doctors and nurses, as well as children who are unable to stand.

Advance tickets can be purchased through Venmo @WIUROCKYTHON, and also by contacting rockython@wiu.edu. Face coverings are required for all attendees (including those picking up carry-out orders).

Western's RockyTHON is entering its ninth year on the WIU campus. Donations are welcome, and may be made by visiting the WIU RockyThon website at WIUDM.com/ or e-mailing RockyTHON@wiu.edu. Additional details and more events can be found on the WIU RockyThon Facebook page.
