Miracle Madness: See How the Schools in this Year's Tournament are Making a Difference for Local Children's Hospitals

March 13, 2017 | By CMN Hospitals | Network Post

Over the course of the 2016-2017 school year, 43 of the 68 colleges and universities involved in the 2017 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament also hosted Miracle Network Dance Marathon events that collectively raised over $9.52 million dollars for local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals!

Miracle Network Dance Marathon is an international movement represented on over 300 college and university campuses in the U.S. and Canada. Throughout the year, the students involved in Dance Marathon work to raise funds and awareness, with 100% of the funds going directly to their local hospital to help the kids in their communities fight illness and injuries.

In 2016 alone, Miracle Network Dance Marathons raised over $32.4 million dollars for CMN Hospitals.
