What is Dance Marathon?
Dance Marathon is
+ the largest student-run philanthropic event on CofC campus
+ on over 90 college campuses across the country
+ raises money for Childrens Miracle Network.
College of Charleston's first Dance Marathon was held the night of February 9th, 2007.
After just one year, Dance Marathon became the largest philanthropic event at the College of Charleston, raising over $20,000 for MUSC Childrens Hospital.
The 2008 event was held on the night of January 18th, in which over 300 students helped raise over $43,000 for the hospital, more than doubling our previous years total!
Last year's event was held on the night of January 6th, in which over 450 students signed up to help raise over $70,062 for the hospital and enjoy the new Carolina First Arena!
Each student participant pledges to raise $150 through various fundraising activities throughout the semester, which will lead up to the night of the event when students will stay up for 15 hours to celebrate the lives of children!
This years event will be held in February at the Carolina First Center in downtown Charleston. Bands, entertainers, games, and food will fill the night, but the most memorable times occur when the patients and their families share their stories of struggle and triumph.
We need your help and the help of all students across campus to make Dance Marathon a continued success!
