How much money do I need to raise?
We simply ask that you set a personal fundraising goal and try your hardest to reach it before the day of the Marathon. We encourage participants to raise as much as possible, as all the money goes directly to our beneficiaries! We also provide you with plenty of fundraising resources to help you reach your goals.
How can I reach my personal fundraising goal?
When each dancer registers for Dance Marathon, they will receive a personal fundraising page on DonorDrive. This can easily be shared on social media and through email! Dancers can also request a pre-written message to send out as well! This campaign is an excellent way to bring in the money! All dancers have to do is insert their name and address on the message and send it out to family, friends, or whoever you think would like to donate and support you as a dancer. It contains information about the charity as well as information about MSU Dance Marathon. Along with the letter campaign, dancers can consider returning cans or bucketing as an easy way to raise money.
Where does the money go?
All funds raised by the dancers will go directly to our Local Children's Miracle Network Hospital, Sparrow Children's Center. For more information about our foundations, visit the Our Cause link above!
Do I have to actually DANCE for 10 hours?
No Way!!! During the marathon we require that dancers stand for a total of 10 hours. These 10 hours give us an opportunity to "stand in their shoes," as it represents the struggles that the individuals our funds benefit face every day. Throughout the marathon we will have student performances, games and activities, crafts, catered food, prizes and way more to keep dancers entertained! Young adults with cancer and Miracle children will come visit throughout the event and share their stories so dancers can see who is directly benefiting from funds raised. Every hour we will teach a segment of a line dance that is fun, but still easy enough where no dance experience is required. At the end of the 10 hours we will do the entire dance and end the marathon by revealing how much money every one at MSU Dance Marathon raised!
Can I be on the same team as my friends?
Absolutely!!! We encourage dancers sign up in teams in order for dancers to be able to eat and compete with their friends. We will have team competitions throughout the marathon and meal times are organized according to teams. Decide with your friends on what you want your team name to be and insert your team name on the registration form when you sign up.
Do I have to have a team to participate in Dance Marathon?
No! We encourage dancers to sign up whether you have a team or not. For those dancers who sign up individually, we will place you will other individual dancers come the day of the event. Dance Marathon is a great opportunity to meet new friends! If you have one other friend that you are signing up with, you may put their name under the team name section of the registration form.
