F.O.R.C.E members were more then happy to contribute there time to the cause.
F.O..RC.E performed the dance routine that they did for their kickoff.
The performance was set to the music of Justin Timberlake's "sexy back."
In addition to SHU F.O.R.C.E and the Delta Phi Kappa sorority there were several other performances featured.
"There were performances from groups within the University of Bridgeport, along with other groups within the community," said Monica Concha, senior, Babylon, N.Y, and class president of the class of '07 and member of the Delta Phi Kappa sorority.
"Cultural performances including live band, Greek stroll, dances, and vocals," is how the University of Bridgeport website described the planned itinerary of the evening.
"Overall I think both SHU F.O.R.C.E and Delta Phi Kappa did an excellent job," said Concha.
The participants did this all for a more then worthy cause that is now receiving worldwide attention and outcry.
"Invisible Children is an organization committed to ending the war in Northern Uganda where children are forced to fight as soldiers," according to the organizations website, invisiblechildren.com
More than 30,000 children have been abducted and forced to fight with the rebel army as soldiers.
Every night these children commute by foot to find safe places to sleep in their town centers for fear of being hunted by the Lord's Resistance Army or, LRA.
This is what Invisible Children is trying to end.
Invisible Children began in 2003 when filmmakers from California traveled to Africa to look for a story that would change the world.
They found that story in Northern Uganda.
They documented what they discovered about;
" The 20-year-long war where children are the weapons, and the victims," according to the organizations website.
The film was called, "Invisible Children: Rough Cut."
It received attention worldwide and the non-profit Invisible Children Inc. was formed in 2004.
Anyone interested in supporting the cause can purchase the Invisible Children DVD's, bracelets and other apparel from the organizations website.
