MDM is completely student-led. All of us come together weekly,
each with unique talents and skills, to plan and facilitate our big event.
"Dance Marathon at the University of Minnesota promotes acceptance and support for the
children and their families receiving care at Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare while
striving to heighten student and community awareness and involvement by hosting events throughout the year."
