Dads and their daughters celebrated a special night out Saturday at Downers South's Daddy Daughter Dance.

The event was organized by the school's Student Government Association to raise money for St. Baldrick's Foundation. South announced Friday the school had raised $42,000 for the foundation through a variety of fundraisers, including some head shaving.

South cosmetology students provided hair and makeup services for the girls before the dance. Girls ages 3 to 11 were welcome to the event.
