Alpha Lambda Sigma (ALS) sorority hosted its annual Talent Show to support the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation on Thu., April 2 in Gottesman Room.

The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation is dedicated to finding an end to pediatric HIV/AIDS through research, advocacy, prevention, and treatment programs according to their foundation’s website.

Sarah Voorhees, ALS sister and one of the hosts of the evening, presented a video of Elizabeth Glaser, the organization’s founder, who received transfusions of HIV positive blood and then passed the disease on to her children in utero and with breast milk.

“In a desperate moment, a mother started a movement,” the video said. “People say that they care, but actions are what save lives.”

Following the video, over a hundred attendees watched six unique groups perform numbers such as a Britney Spears medley and a hilarious rendition of Men in Tights. The crowd roared for their friends and peers throughout the night.

While the acts were being judged, brothers of Lambda Upsilon Lambda (LUL) fraternity strolled to pump up the crowd before the winners were announced.

Dan Goldstein, a brother of Delta Kappa Epsilon, took first place and received a 100-dollar gift card as his winnings.

“I appreciated everyone’s courage to do what we got to do,” sophomore Kaleigh Kessler said about her favorite part of the event.

“We love when people come out and do the talent show, and we are going to do it every year,” Sara Genova, ALS sister, said about the event.

Half of the proceeds will go to the Elizabeth Glaser Foundation while the other half will go back into fundraising for the sorority’s other philanthropies and they will continue to promote the awareness of pediatric AIDS.
