What is the Dance Marathon? (from the website above)

The University of Iowa Dance Marathon is a student organization that provides year-round support to youth cancer victims and their families. The Big Event is a 24-hour Dance Marathon where students assemble to celebrate the children survivors and remember the children who have passed away throughout the year. Students plan and participate in Family Events and Mini-Dance Marathons. Additionally, they participate in other University of Iowa sponsored and affiliated activities and events, the majority of which are all philanthropic.
