The Rock Chalk Revue this weekend at the Lied Center raised close to $38,000 in revenue this year for its philanthropy.
Scott Ferguson, fundraising coordinator for the event, said that money was still trickling in and expenses still needed to be paid, so an exact amount isn't known yet.
A check for the raised amount will be presented to United Way of Douglas County during halftime at one of the first home football games this fall.
Over 4,000 people attended the revue, with an estimated 1,800 on Saturday. 1,200 Friday and 1,000 on Thursday.
Hannah Johnson, Barrington, Ill., sophomore and member of Gamma Phi Beta, is attended the revue with some of her friends on Thursday night. She said she liked the pre-show videos before each skit that showed behind the scenes information about the groups and their experience with this year's show. She said she found the show very humorous.
Phi Delta Theta and Chi Omega's "CinderEllie" swept at the awards ceremony, winning 10 of 14 awards including best overall performance and the new viewer's choice award.
Other groups and acts were Delta Upsilon and Kappa Kappa Gamma, performing "Rising Heat;" Phi Kappa Psi and Delta Gamma, performing "In the Club;" Beta Theta Pi and Kappa Alpha Theta, performing "Joes and Dolls;" and Sigma Chi and Pi Beta Phi, performing "Rockin' the Boat."
A detailed account of the awards and recipients, including the community service awards, can be found on the Rock Chalk Reve Web site.
