ELKHART, Ind. -- Concord High School held its 28th annual potter's marathon where high school students participated in a 24-hour pottery challenge.
"So, we basically make ceramics for the whole 24 hours, and there's like shifts of red shirts that get to come in and then if you're varsity, you get to stay the whole 24 hours," said Ingrid Medina, a student.
Students created pottery then will get the chance to sell it during December as part of raising funds for Raley's Children Hospital.
"I myself am a Riley patient. I have arthritis, so I go to Riley, but I love Riley they're amazing," said Keller Wesdorp, a student.
"I actually was once a Riley Children, so this definitely means a lot to me to give back to Riley Children's Hospital. I am the type of person that I love just like giving back to the community and always just taking care of the people around me," said Emma Schwindaman, a student.
The funds will go towards treatments for patients and help families who need it the most.
Bob Biever a Concord High School Teacher started the marathon during his second-year teaching at Concord and started with just 10 students but now has multiple groups of students working together.
"They're spending this moment, this time, collectively doing something different than they've ever done before, and it brings kids from all different genres, all economic backgrounds, races, color, to fellowship like they've never done before.”
"I definitely suggest being a part of this. This is great, if you don't remember anything, you'll remember this right here," said Isayah Ford, a student.
