Some Texas State students are getting involved in the community by participating in the Bobcat-THON. The organization hosts a dance marathon on campus to raise money for children in need. Bobcat Update's Cartney Sharp has the story.

BobcatTHON is a twelve-hour event held in the L-B-J Student Center ballroom. The event is part of a national Dance Marathon. More than 400 institutions take part to raise funds for local children's hospitals. Texas State's chapter, BobcatTHON, is raising funds for the Dell Children's Medical Center.

Last year marked the first BobcatTHON at Texas State, and it brought in more than seven-thousand dollars. This year the goal is 12-thousand.

BobcatTHON offers an opportunity to have fun, get moving and give back to the community. Members say the event is not just a dance marathon, but an experience to interact directly with  those whose lives they are helping to change.

BobcatTHON will take place Sunday, April 7 in the L-B-J Student Center ballroom from 10 in the morning until 10 at night.
