Up All Night for a great cause!

It's the Carol Morris Scholarship Fund at Bowling Green State University and we've got our 3rd annual 20-hour marathon show on SportsTalkCleveland.com starting at 5 PM EDT tonight! Details here.

Before I list the event details, I would like to thank our sponsor, OhioCasino.com, for generously supporting this cause.

The Carol Morris Scholarship Fund at Bowling Green State University was established in honor of its namesake, an alumnus who was a longtime teacher and tutor. In keeping with Carol Morris’ dedication to special education, the fund will be targeted towards young people aspiring to a career in that very field. When fully vested at $25,000, the fund will help make a difference for individuals pursuing this worthy career path.

The fund has been the chosen cause of the first two annual “SportsTalkNetwork.com Up All Night Marathon” benefits and will again be the focus of the third annual “Marathon” on SportsTalkCleveland.com. The show will take place from 5 PM this Saturday, August 19 through 1 PM on Sunday, August 20.

To donate to the fund, make checks payable to: BGSU Foundation, Inc.

On the memo line of the check, please write: Carol Morris Scholarship Fund 30-000812
