Students danced and lip synched Saturday night not only to have fun.

They gathered to raise money to purchase the His House Christian
Church building, 211 W. Broomfield Road. His House currently rents the
building, but is trying to purchase it.

Nearly 100 students took part in the first-annual His House Mock
Rock competition in Pearce 127.

Traverse City senior Kristen Sievert said they have raised $150,000
toward the purchase of the building, but still are $100,000 short.

Out of the nine groups who performed, House Fire placed first. The
group performed a skit that mocked pirates.

“We are from the men’s campus house and this gave us an opportunity
to do something crazy — we are always looking to do something crazy,”
said Lake Orion junior Tim Doescher.
