Clarke University Dance Marathon

Hi, Clarke Community! We are officially ONE day away from the 2021 Dance Marathon event, and we wanted to share some information for you:

What is Dance Marathon?

Dance Marathon is a student-run organization that fundraises year-round to provide care and support for children and families undergoing treatment at the University of Iowa Children's Hospital in Iowa City. All money raised throughout the year goes directly to the families and children at the hospital! The money also provides the hospital with funding to support various education, research, equipment, and other areas the hospital needs support or improvements.

Why do We Dance?

Simply put, We dance For the Kids! We have miracle families in which they have either been treated or are currently being treated at the University of Iowa Children's Hospital. We dance to spread awareness of pediatric illness that has affected so many. Every year we ask each dancer why they dance, and a few examples are:

*for more proms!
*for more graduations!
*for more hugs!
*for those who can't!
*FOR THE KIDS!

How can you get involved?

What are we doing at our big event due to COVID?

This year, we are holding a hybrid event! We will have the event half online and half in-person. The online portion will be from 2–5:15 p.m., and the in-person portion will be from 6–9 p.m.

At 5:30 p.m., we are holding a "Walk a Mile in The Kiddo's Shoes!" We ask that you put on your favorite Dance Marathon shirt or a pink or orange shirt and walk a mile! After walking your mile, we invite you to post a photo on social media tagging Clarke University Dance Marathon and using the hashtag !

As always, FTK!
