This auction event was coordinated by the Gustavus Campus Activities Board.
Last year’s “Dancing With the Profs” event raised more than $1,600 for the American Red Cross, benefiting victims of tornadoes that hit Southern Minnesota last August. This year’s proceeds will go to the St. Peter United Way, which is involved in sponsoring the Big Partner, Little Partner program at Gustavus, St. Peter’s Habitat for Humanity group, and several other organizations that impact the St. Peter community.
Tickets for the dance are $2 for Gustavus students and employees and $4 for the general public. Tickets may be purchased at the door or from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Oct. 29 — Nov. 2 outside the Evelyn Young Dining Room in the C. Charles Jackson Campus Center.
