UI Dance Marathon 30th Anniversary this Weekend: Please consider donating

[JRHawk2003]

This is an incredible student run organization that does sooo much for the kids and the families as they grapple with treatment for cancer at UIHC. This is the 25th Anniversary, they got up over $3 million last year. Lets top that.

Wonder why it is listed as the 25th Anniversary? I participated in 1982. Was the event possibly discontinued for a period of time?

I dont know. I was there in 85-90. I was under the influence a lot the time so its all pretty hazy.

I participated in March of '81. Back then it was for the MDA (Jerry Lewis).

I posted this five years ago, and here we are, the 30th Anniversary. It really took some hits from COVID, but hopefully will come back.

This is an awesome group. It has helped so many families.

Take it from me, when a kid has cancer it puts big stress on a family, and this group does many things to help ease that burden. I wont ever forget what they did for us.

Good bump @JRHawk2003.

My youngest who's in his 3rd year @ Iowa will be there, he's done it every year. He doesn't have much choice though since his steady girlfriend is on the DM committee. We make sure to give until it hurts a little every year, it's a great cause and every dollar helps.
