Dance Marathon Needs You

There are many recipes for success at the University of Tennessee, but one stands out among both students and alums. Take one 24-hour celebration with a 14-hour philanthropic event, add several hundred UT students, and you have successfully made Dance Marathon Rocky Top style.

On Feb. 23-24 UT students will once again hold the annual event. Dance Marathon, which was started at UT in 1995, has helped raise more than $770,000 for the East Tennessee Children’s Hospital Hematology and Oncology Clinic. Throughout the year students work to not only raise money, but also to raise awareness of the cause and how it helps thousands at the Children’s Hospital.

This year, the dancers are poised to raise even more with help from not only their fellow classmates, family, and friends, but also from you. To find out more information about DM or to make a donation to the event, go to www.utkdm.com.
