The event, held from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Saturday and Sunday at Southeast Missouri State University Academic Terraces, is sponsored by the Group Housing staff and Group Area Council in the Office of Residence Life. Monetary donations distributed to Habitat for Humanity and the Salvation Army will be collected before the event.
