Over the years, the annual Big Event has raised millions of dollars for the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital. This year’s Big Event promises to be as impactful as ever, and there are several ways for staff to get involved. Here’s how:

1. Participate in the Big Event on February 7^th – 8^th, a celebration of the year and the Dance Marathon kids and families. The schedule of events will soon be available at https://dancemarathon.uiowa.edu. Dance Marathon proudly welcomes and celebrates diversity across race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, physical/mental health, and ability. The organization stands firm in prohibiting discrimination, ensuring everyone is valued as an individual and treated with dignity.

2. Donate! Some active members of Dance Marathon are working hard to reach their fundraising goals. With the Big Event quickly approaching, staff can make a difference by helping these members succeed! You can view a list of Dancers in Need and find information on how to donate at the Dance Marathon website.

Let’s make this year’s Big Event unforgettable! See you there!
