Dance Marathon
A Program of Children's Miracle Network
Miracle Network Dance Marathon is a movement uniting college, university and high school students across North America.
Student Leaders Making Miracles Happen
Students involved in a campus dance marathon organization spend a year gaining leadership, teamwork and nonprofit business experience while raising funds and awareness for their local member of Children's Miracle Network (CMN).
The year culminates with a multi-hour long event (the dance marathon) where students meet patient families treated at their local CMN hospital, enjoy entertainment and reveal their annual fundraising total. Since its inception in 1991, Dance Marathon has raised over $400 million across the country and remains one of the top 30 peer-to-peer fundraising programs in the U.S.
