ELONTHON 2022 is April 2nd from 9:00 a.m. to 10:06 p.m. in Alumni Gym! www.elonthon.com

ELONTHON is the largest student organized philanthropy at Elon University in North Carolina, benefiting Duke Children's Hospital in Durham, NC. Every year Elon students come together at Alumni Gym for a 13.1-hour long dance marathon to support the incredible children and families treated at Duke Children's. Since 2003, ELONTHON has grown into an incredible campus-wide event, bringing in around 1,300 participants in 2014. There are hundreds of Dance Marathons around the country, each benefiting their own Children's Miracle Network hospital. They differ in size, location, themes and length, yet they share two things. One common goal, to help kids heal so they can live and enjoy their lives, and the rule that you must remain standing for the entirety of your time at the event! It's all a symbol of the hope and support we give to the patients and their families.

💚 September is NICU Awareness Month! 💚

Meet Akenji and Asanti! Born at just 23 weeks, these incredible twins spent the first months of their lives receiving care in the NICU at Duke Children’s. Today, they’re growing, thriving, and showing us just how strong our Miracle Kids can be! 🫶

This month, we’re celebrating Akenji and Asanti, their family, and all of the amazing NICU babies, families, and care teams at Duke Children’s. Stories like theirs are why we do what we do.

This past weekend, our VP of Communications, Emily, had the incredible opportunity to attend this year’s Ignite Conference! Ignite brings together student leaders from programs across the country to learn from one another, share ideas, and discover new ways to strengthen our organizations.

We are so excited to bring everything we learned back to Elonthon and continue growing our impact throughout the year. A huge thank you to for giving us the opportunity to attend and invest in our growth as student leaders.

I also had the chance to meet so many incredible people throughout the weekend! A special shoutout to Ryleigh from for being the best roommate and making the weekend even more memorable. 💙
