Campus Activities Council invites students to dance the night away at its annual philanthropy event Dance Marathon, March 3, at the Huston Huffman Fitness Center.

“It is a 12 hour event where ,'we dance for kids who can’t,' which is the Dance Marathon motto. There is a carnival, multiple dances, a moon bounce, a lot of food, and there is a DJ,” said Taylor Reames, a member of the Dance Marathon morale team, who are the leaders of the event.

The event will last from 10a.m. until 10p.m. with non-stop activities. This event is not only a fun night to interact with other students, but also a night to give back.

According to Reames, Dance marathon is a collegiate fundraiser, that raises money for Children’s Miracle Network hospitals, specifically OU Children’s.

Each member of the morale team is required to raise about $150 for OU Children’s and there are various fundraisers throughout the year.

Annually, CAC spends the year preparing and getting the word out for this Spring event. CAC has "125 days of Dance Marathon," a series of fundraisers year round to raise money for OU Children’s. 

The event is sponsored by Children’s Hospital Foundation and Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

Registration is $25 and you can find out more information at www.helpmakemiracles.org.
