North Gwinnett Spells Fund-Raiser MORP (Video)
The school's Relay for Life fund-raiser has a goal of $115,000 for 2013. The students also are hoping to get Ellen DeGeneres' attention.
Relay for Life 2013 is approaching in Gwinnett. And some North Gwinnett High students in Suwanee are getting creative in their fund-raising.
The students have worked up a dance called MORP ("prom" spelled backwards) as a fund-raiser for Relay for Life. The first version reportedly raised over $100,000 last year. The 2013 fund raiser was held recently, and $115,000 is the goal.

The MORP is a backwards prom created by Relay students and advisors to raise money for our deserving cause! The students become the theme, wearing NEON and dancing the night away amongst laser lighting, fog machines, and intense sound! The MORP offers a unique experience not found at our annual Homecoming and Prom!
Also, according to the newsletter, a publicity campaign is being mounted to gain the attention of TV host Ellen DeGeneres. The newsletter says:
