There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

For The Kids is an organization on campus that raises money and awareness for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Our biggest event of the year is Dance Marathon which is Saturday, March 3rd, in the Student Center Ballroom from 12pm-10pm.
Activities throughout the day include a talent show put on by some of the kids who are in/have been in treatment, puppies, raffles including a signed Atlanta United jersey, performances by Tech dance groups/bands, and game competitions between color teams! When you register, you will receive two meals (lunch and dinner), a t-shirt, and other things like a water bottle!
At the end of the event, we reveal how much was raised throughout the year, and this year we are trying to reach $300,000!! Every donation can make a difference in the life of these kids who are fighting a battle every day to stay alive. We hope you can join us on this incredible day and see how big of a difference a group of college students really can make!
To register, go to gtftk.org/dm2018 and either find a team to join or start one yourself! We hope to see you there!
