The Lehigh University Dance Marathon

10/31/2013

0 Comments

 
Years ago, I cheered on a very good friend at Penn State's THON, a yearlong effort to raise funds and awareness for the fight against pediatric cancer that ends with a 48-hour long dance marathon. The experience was inspiring, motivating and heartwarming, and I was just a spectator!  I dreamed of organizing or participating in a similar event, but never had the chance.  I was recently contacted by Alexandra Stephanou, a junior at Lehigh University (my alma mater).  With the help of her fellow mountainhawks, she founded and is co-directing the first ever Lehigh University Dance Marathon.  They are focused on organizing an annual dance marathon at Lehigh to raise funds and awareness for the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia - my current place of employment!  Additionally, they are striving to unify the Lehigh community and celebrate the miracle children and their families.

The Lehigh University Dance Marathon will take place on November 16, 2013 at Lehigh University, and I'm honored to be invited to attend.  This cause warms my heart in more ways than one.  Please read the information below and click to donate - you won't regret it!

Who are we and what are we doing?

Lehigh University Dance Marathon is a student-run organization that is focused on raising funds for the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. We also organize an annual Dance Marathon event, "All Night Strong". The event celebrates the year's fundraising and champions the children and families of CHOP. Our first "All Night Strong" will be an 8 hour event taking place at Lehigh on November 16th and 17th from 5pm to 1am. 

Our Vision

Inspiring the kids. Unifying for hope.



Meet Coco and Joey, two Miracle Kids that will be coming to our event to share their stories and celebrate!

Our Mission

Our mission is a threefold idea that incorporates not only the kids, but also Lehigh Students, faculty, staff, and the Bethlehem community. 
  1. To Foster Meaningful Relationships
  2. To Champion Miracles 
  3. To Provide Inspiration
As our event approaches, we are thankful to have seen nothing but full support from the Lehigh community. Currently we have 473 students registered to give up their usual Saturday night plans, and stand on their feet for 8 hours! Collectively they have raised over $11,900.00. Students will also be joined by 5 Miracle Kids who have been treated at CHOP. The evening is a celebration of them! 
Please help us reach our goal of $50,000! Tax deductible donations can be made at this secure site!  Do it FOR THE KIDS!
