With a little more than two hours to go, the dancers at Dance Marathon are staying strong for the kids.
Junior professional sales major Andrew Sharp said he wanted to do Dance Marathon because he wanted to give back to a great organization.
“This is a great organization and a lot of the stories are really motivational,” Sharp said. “If I could be half as strong as these kids are that’d be awesome.”
At the event, the dancers can play corn hole, pay to get their head shaved, dance or stand and talk – as long as they don’t sit down.
Twice during the night the staff did a Miracle Minute, where they walked around with red buckets trying to collect as much money as they could in one minute. The total amount raised from the Miracle Minutes will be announced at midnight.
Also scattered throughout the night are the stories of some of the families and kids who have been helped by Riley Children’s Hospital.
