Hundreds of students packed the Mandela Room to celebrate Chanukah in an event that marked the culmination of a two months long " Light up a Life" toy drive which garnered toys worth over $10,000 that will be distributed to children with cancer through Chai Lifeline.The event featured a menorah lighting ceremony, a performance by the Binghamton Crosbys and a mass Dreidel Spin Off. The energy in the room was electric and everyone had a ball but the world record was not broken due to 40 dreidels falling short of the requisite 10 second spin time. Dreidels, Latkes and other treats rounded out the huge celebration.
