Squan-a-Thon – At Manasquan High School, nearly 300 students take part in the “Squan-a-Thon”. The event aims to raise more than $40,000 to assist children afflicted with cancer. On the surface, the event functions as a dance marathon requiring that each student stay up all night without caffeine. On a deeper level, this challenge intends to foster a sense of empathy and concern for the hardships of others among the student body.
