Up and down...up and down...the teeter-totter-a-thon is underway.

The men of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity are raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

They kicked off the weekend event at Hooters restaurant Friday and will move the event to their chapter house Saturday at the University of Evansville campus.

Fraternity vice president Kyle Shatto said, "A lot of people are confused asking, 'why are you riding a giant teeter-totter?' But we thought it was a creative philanthropy, a fun way to raise money and get people out here, and get some awareness out there about leukemia and lymphoma."

This is the 16th year for the event. The fraternity hopes to raise $3,000.
