Dance Marathon is an event held every year at Georgia College & State University, as well as 80 other college campuses. This event celebrates raising money for local children's hospitals. One of the closest children's hospital to this campus is the Children's Hospital in Macon. My sorority, Phi Mu, visits the hospital as much as possible considering Children's Miracle Network is our philanthropy.
This year Dance Marathon will be on March 6, 2010 from 2 p.m. to 12 a.m. in Magnolia Ballroom. In past years the event was 12 hours standing on your feet doing activities to support the Children's Hospital, but this year it will only be held for 8 hours.
During the event, children from the hospital come visit and tell us their stories. We get to meet some of the kids and we play games throughout the whole day. During the 8 hours on our feet, someone leading the group will usually create a dance that everyone follows every so often. This dance keeps everyone going and ready for more! It's more like a "motivational" dance.
I have done Dance Marathon every year since I've known about it. I am really excited to spend my upcoming Saturday doing something beneficial for my community, helping the children at the local children's hospital.
Come out and support a good cause!
