Each year, students raise money for THON and DuBois holds a send off dinner and hair auction to wish our dancers well and give them a final fundraising push. Employees of DuBois' own The Beauty Bar generously donate their time and talents to ensure great cuts for our donors. We hope to see you on campus on Wednesday, February 12th at 6:00pm.

How can you participate, you ask?
