Brianna Kingston helps fight pediatric AIDS at Baldwin Wallace University's 16th Dance Marathon

2017 Mar 29

Brianna Kingston of Ashtabula was among over 80 students who participated in the 16th Annual Dance Marathon at Baldwin Wallace University. As the largest philanthropy organization on campus, Dance Marathon brings together the community, students and sponsors. The 12-hour marathon consists of performers, dancing and HIV/AIDS education. This year's theme was "Sweet Sixteen" and students raised over $31,000 for the cause.

Kingston, a graduate of Lakeside High School majoring in athletic training and exercise science, danced from noon to midnight, raising money and awareness in the fight against pediatric HIV/AIDS through Up 4 the Fight, a collegiate fundraising program. All proceeds went to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, which seeks to educate and reduce the transmission and cases of pediatric AIDS worldwide.
