More than 220 Vanderbilt University students went hungry for a day so that others do not have to.

For the third year in a row, non-Muslim students at Vanderbilt joined their Muslim classmates by fasting for 12 hours as part of Fast-a-Thon. Participating students pledged to abstain from food and drink from sunrise to sunset to raise money from sponsors for a charity."
