About Our Cause

We first want to start off by saying we are glad you are interested in our cause, "For the Kids." Contrary to what it sounds like, Dance Marathon is NOT a mere dance-a-thon where students dance all night long. It is the largest student run philanthropy in the country, and college students everywhere are taking part. Should you accept the challenge, you will experience the most rewarding 17 hours and 4 minutes of your life filled with dancing, singing, games, and touching stories of those who have benefitted from our efforts.

In 2010, our third year at UNF, we made a huge impact and raised more than $27,000. That's more than $10,000 than the year before! This year we are making strides to increase involvement by having various events for students and the Jacksonville community together. We have many new things in store for everyone and we are determined to grow even more and surpass our total funds raised from last year! We invite you, on behalf of the many children we help, to join with us in this cause.
