Dance Marathon has hit NC STATE!
SAY WHAT?
Actually, it is more like dance for what? Dance Marathon is a nationwide movement involving college and high school students at more than 150 schools across the country. It raises money for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospital in their respective community. According to dance marathon,”These students spend a year learning invaluable leadership and life skills while raising funds and interacting with children’s hospital patients and families”. These volunteers come together for a year and put on fundraising opportunities to benefit children and families who suffer from illness. The BIG Dance Marathon event at NC State is 12.5 hours long —where the students will stay on their feet through dancing, games and entertainment in celebration of the total amount raised that year.
FOR HOW LONG?!
12.5 Hours! Why stay on your feet for that long? To quote the first Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Dance Marathon’s mission statement: “We dance for those who can’t.” Powerful statement, I must say! Can you imagine if you were unable to move a lot due to illnesses?
BECAUSE WHY?
Well why not? You are playing games, winning prizes, dancing the night away to your favorite songs and surrounded by your favorite people! All while giving hope, love, compassion, and support to the miracle families. So come and support: dancing, donations, volunteering, and social media!

Turn it into something to be proud of. Make it a way for you to support others around you, bring awareness to the public, give compassion to MIRACLE families.
