Columbus North graduate making difference at Riley
Emmaline Terry, a 2014 graduate of Columbus North High School, is trying to make a difference in the lives of children and their families at Riley Hospital for Children by helping with the Purdue University Dance Marathon.
Terry, the public relations executive for the event, is part of the 16-student executive board and more than 500 committee members who are planning and raising money for this year’s Nov. 18 event. She is hoping to reach her personal fundraising goal of $3,000.
“Dance Marathon has become such a huge part of my life here at Purdue. The relationships I’ve built and the leadership experience I’ve developed has been indescribable,” Terry said in a school news release.
Purdue University Dance Marathon is the largest student-run philanthropic organization at the university. During the past 12 years, the event has raised more than $4 million for Riley Hospital for Children. To donate to Terry’s fund visit donate.pudm.org/terry44.
Terry is the daughter of Dr. Scott and Amy Terry. She is currently a junior at Purdue University studying public relations and advertising.
