Philanthropy - Lawrence, Kansas, United States
Rock Chalk Revue Advisory Board is a student-led organization responsible for running the University of Kansas annual variety show that has raised more charitable funds since inception than any other philanthropic organization on campus. The board is comprised of twenty members who are elected into positions to assist in the coordination of the production. The actual Rock Chalk Revue production is a variety show that invites Greek organizations, residence halls, scholarship halls, and other student organizations to try out and create an original musical. Student groups work all year and compete to be chosen for five slots in the show, from which one winner is selected by a panel of judges. The show is staged at the Lied Center each spring, with proceeds going to support a new local charity every three years. Since the first show in 1949, over $2.5 million has been donated to local charities.
