PHILIPPI — Volunteers are being sought to “Party in the Dark” for a good cause.

Several community organizations are partnering with Alderson Broaddus University for an event in which volunteers will assemble solar-powered lights for typhoon victims in the Philippines, said Ashley Mittelmeier, director of marketing and communications.

The free event is being held at 8 p.m. Saturday at Heiner Hall located on the top level of the campus center.

“University students and community members will turn out the lights for an hour and assemble solar-powered lights,” she said.
