Help a Child Smile

In the coming weeks before Dance Marathon, people are always very excited about contributing to fundraisers, attending shirt check ins, and doing everything in their power to make sure that DM contributions are as good as they can be. In the Spring, that’s great! But sometimes people forget that Dance Marathon efforts happen all year-round.

Children’s Miracle Network is not just any organization. It is one that is fully committed to changing the lives of children facing hardships and struggles that shouldn’t be present in their youth. By participating in any DM effort, you are helping improve a child’s struggle and giving them a reason to put a smile on their face every day. Even the smallest donation can give a child the biggest reason to smile.

So, get started! Online fundraising is already open and will continue through April so there is no reason why you shouldn’t take advantage of the 151 days until Dance Marathon this year! In the end it is all for the kids, so let’s give them 151 reasons to smile Be sure to become a fan of our Facebook page “Dance Marathon @ UF” and check back regularly for upcoming events and more information on this year’s DM!
