Dance Marathon at the University of Florida is the largest student-run and highest fundraising philanthropy in the Southeast United States. Our mission is to strive to bring together the campus and community to raise funds and awareness for our local Children's Miracle Network Hospital, UF Health Shands Children's Hospital. We are going into our 31st year of Dance Marathon at UF, having fundraised over $31,000,000 thus far. This past year, we celebrated our 30th year by raising a historic $1,531,518.24!
This year, our summer campaign signals both a reflection of the past and our vision for the future. We had a monumental year celebrating the 30th anniversary of DM at UF’s founding, but it poses the question of “What’s next?” #BeyondThisMoment represents our commitment to continue making an impact beyond this year and beyond this generation. This summer, carry your passion wherever you go and always keep this cause in your heart. While many college students are living “in the moment,” we have the opportunity to think #BeyondThisMoment and be a part of something bigger than ourselves. No matter the season, our dedication to ending pediatric illness remains. We hope you find inspiration in this year’s summer campaign and we can’t wait to see the many ways you make an impact #BeyondThisMoment
DM at UF is one of the five founding Dance Marathon programs in the nation. Since our start, we have raised more than $31 million for the Miracle Families UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital, our local Children’s Miracle Network hospital.
Ranked one of the top 50 pediatric hospitals in the nation in seven categories, UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital and Children’s Miracle Network have created one of the greatest facilities of care for children and young adults.
Take a moment to meet the heart and soul of our movement. Our Miracle Families are the inspiration for every student who is part of DM at UF.
