For more than two decades, Father Jay Fostner has served as vice president of mission and student affairs at St. Norbert College in De Pere, Wisconsin. Father Jay Fostner has also been a counselor at the college and has taught students as an assistant professor of psychology. St. Norbert maintains a strong commitment to giving back to the community, and recently, it raised more than $55,000 for the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin.

The funds were raised by students, staff, and faculty through the seventh annual Dance Marathon at the college, at which participants stay on their feet dancing for more than 13 hours, considered the athletic equivalent of running a half marathon. Local families whose children had been treated at the Children’s Hospital spoke about their experiences during the event.

All of the proceeds from the Dance Marathon go directly to the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, a vital resource for families in the greater Milwaukee area.
