MACOMB, IL -- Let the Western Illinois University RockyTHON (Dance Marathon) do the cooking Tuesday, Nov. 9.

From 4-8 p.m. Nov. 9, RockyTHON students will host its annual pancake dinner at the Macomb American Legion, 221 E. Washington St., as part of the 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.

The "breakfast for dinner" event includes all-you-can-eat pancakes, sausage and orange juice. Tickets are $5 per person in advance Venmo @WIUROCKYTHON or $7 at the door. Advance tickets can also be purchased 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, with this year's goal set at $100,000. Donations are welcome, and may be made by visiting the WIU RockyThon website at WIUDM.com/ or e-mailing RockyTHON@wiu.edu.
