The Vietnamese Student Association hosted its second annual cultural show in McCormick Auditorium Saturday night.

The show featured various skits, dances and songs. The show also included a miracle minute — a fundraiser where the audience donates as much as possible in 60 seconds — where VSA raised money for the Vietnam Health Clinic.
