Dance Marathon at The University of Akron

Dance Marathon at The University of Akron We are a student organization at UA providing emotional and financial support for the kids and families at Akron Children's Hospital. For The Kids!

Dance Marathon is a nationwide movement involving college and high school students at more than 150 schools across the country, all raising money for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospital in their community. These students spend a year learning invaluable leadership and life skills while raising funds and interacting with children’s hospital patients and families. The year culminates with a 12-4

0 hour long event where the students stay on their feet through dancing, games and entertainment in celebration of the total amount raised that year. 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.” It is this solidarity to – and connection with – the cause that makes Dance Marathon an event unlike any other. All proceeds go directly to Akron Children's Hospital.
