What is Miracle Network Dance Marathon?
Miracle Network Dance Marathon is a philanthropic movement uniting students at over 400 colleges, universities and high schools across North America. Students involved in a campus’s dance marathon organization spend a year gaining leadership, teamwork, and nonprofit business experience while raising funds and awareness for their local CMN Hospital. The year culminates with a dance marathon event on each campus where students get to meet patient families treated at their local hospital, participate in games and dancing, enjoy entertainment, and reveal their annual fundraising total.
As this movement comes to campus, a new Dance Marathon at High Point University student organization will be formed on campus. Staff from CMN Hospitals are currently recruiting student leaders who will help form the founding executive board for the organization. Executive board members will be responsible for laying the foundation for the organization, recruiting student participants, planning and implementing fundraising and awareness efforts, building relationships with university and community partners, and hosting the inaugural dance marathon event.
Dance Marathon provides students with a hands on service-learning experience that develops a sense of community, bringing students and organizations together from all across campus.
Our Cause:
The efforts of the organization will all be in support of Duke Children’s Hospital, the local CMN Hospital in Durham, North Carolina.
Duke Children’s is nationally ranked among the best in pediatric health care programs. Caring for children is their number one priority, from routing checkups and immunizations to the treatment of life-threatening injuries and illnesses. With 190 inpatient beds, including a neonatal ICU, a pediatric ICU, a cardiac PICU, pediatric emergency department, and the world’s leading pediatric bone marrow transplantation unit, Duke Children’s is poised as a leader in children’s health care.
By getting involved in Dance Marathon at High Point University, you’re joining hundreds of thousands of students across North America who are a part of this generation, fighting for the next and helping to save kids’ lives in your local community.
Miracle Network Dance Marathon is an international movement, involving over 400 colleges, universities and K-12 schools across North America that fundraise for their local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Since its inception in 1991, Miracle Network Dance Marathon has raised more than $250 million–ensuring that no child or family fights pediatric illness or injury alone.
