Miracle Network Dance Marathon

In 1991 students at Indiana University founded Dance Marathon in memory of Ryan White, a student who passed away from AIDS/HIV complications shortly before his freshman year at Indiana University. Over 30 years later, Miracle Network Dance Marathon has raised $350 million for their local Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and has grown to include over 400 campuses and thousands of student leaders across the United States and Canada. Students in Dance Marathon programs get to make a difference in their communities while gaining marketable skills in leadership, communication, project management, teamwork, and fundraising and philanthropy.
