A massive charter bus full of students dressed to the nines left Trinity’s dormitory to go to Gamma Chi Delta’s 12th annual Concert for the Cure on Saturday night. Students’ chatters mixed with the hum of the air conditioning to form the soundtrack for the ride.  

Around 400 Trinity students attended the benefit, held at a new venue, The Well, a dance hall with a restaurant and bar about a 20-minute drive northwest of Trinity. The event left its usual venue, Cowboys Dance Hall, because the property was facing foreclosure, said Hilary Hoffman, senior communication major and this year’s concert chair for Gamma Chi Delta.

Organized by the Trinity sorority, Concert for the Cure is the culmination of a variety of fundraising events held to benefit Camp Discovery, a summer camp dedicated to providing the normal summer camp experience to kids affected by cancer.

The crowd two stepped in cowboy boots to the music, which also included a performance by country singer Roger Creager. Members of Gamma Chi Delta, the Trinity sorority that started this concert, all donned their green jersey​.
