​UMNDM 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."
