40th Annual Teddi Dance for Love underway

PITTSFORD N.Y. (WHEC) — Students at St. John Fisher College are dancing for 24 hours straight Friday into Saturday at the 40th Annual Teddi Dance for Love.

The dance-a-thon kicked off at 8 p.m. to raise money for Camp Good Days and Special Times.

It’s named after Teddi Mervis, who was the inspiration for many programs that have come out of Camp Good Days and Special Times for kids with terminal illnesses.

"Obviously as Teddi’s dad, I love being here because for how cold it is outside, it’s always very warm inside. A lot of love here and that’s something that I think we need a lot more of," said Gary Mervis.

The dance will end at 8 p.m. Saturday.
