Ball State University Dance Marathon set a new group record of registered dancers after surpassing 1,316 dancers.
The record-breaking number came late Tuesday night after the BSUDM executive board made a push to find new participants. Since 2008, BSUDM is a campus-wide organization that raises money for Riley Hospital for Children.
“We had high hopes about breaking our record coming into the meeting,” said Zach Brown, BSUDM director of media relations. “We weren’t going to let anything get in our way.”
Brown said the recruiting efforts of the entire executive board and volunteers made breaking the record possible.
With one of its goals met, the group is now focusing most of its efforts to raising $250,000. According to BSUDM’s website, the group raised $196,228.20 in 2013.
“It’s attainable,” Brown said. “It’s not easy, but we can do it.”
