Award 2020
Dance Marathon is a year long student-led initiative which aims to raise funds and awareness for children in need of specialized pediatric medical care that is otherwise not available to them locally.
At Florida State, our movement culminates into a 30-hour event where over 1,800 students stay awake and on their feet "For The Kids"!

MISSION:
“We as Dance Marathon at Florida State University 2023 will put our full selves and hearts into this organization while we grow together as one.
In our 28th year, we will strengthen connections to our families, traditions and beneficiaries: UF Health Shands Children's Hospital and the FSU College of Medicine Pediatric Outreach Programs.
We will remain committed to fostering an inclusive and accepting environment as we establish and strengthen relationships within the Florida State and Tallahassee community. Together we will strive to create a space for all to discover their why, and to leave a lasting impact on our organization for years to come.
Through our never ending dedication to our cause, we will provide hope for a brighter tomorrow. No matter what, we will push forward in the face of adversity for our miracle children and their families.“
