Local students to dance 12 straight hours for charity
More than 400 University of Dayton will make Athena proud Saturday, Nov. 7, as part of the 11th annual Dance Marathon at the university’s RecPlex Center.
The 12-hour event will raise funds to purchase equipment for The Children’s Medical Center of Dayton’s newborn intensive care unit.
Spectators are welcome.
Feet start to move at noon and will surely be exhausted by midnight.
The Marathon features , live music, contests, food, stories from Children Medical Center patient families and theme dance hours.
Ellen Bryan, Miss Miami Valley, will sing during the “oldies and one-hit wonder” hour and the Dayton Parrott Heads dance with students during the “vacation” hour.
The university’s dance and Irish dance teams will perform.
This year’s theme is “Be a HERO. Saving Lives One DANCE at a Time.” Each dancer will receive a bright blue T-shirt with a superhero design.
The UD’s Dance Marathon’s have raised more than $150,000 for Dayton Children’s since 1999.
