Dance Marathon seeking committee members for 2015 event

The Dance Marathon is seeking committee members for the 2015 event, which will be held March 21-22. Committee members will work throughout the coming months to plan and fundraise for the 18-hour event.

Dance Marathon is a student-run organization that raises money for pediatric medical care, education and research at Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence, R.I. During the March event, student participants will remain on their feet for the full 18 hours while participating in games and activities.

Every dollar raised benefits Hasbro and its families. Last year’s fundraising helped to rebuild the Izzy Room, a critical resource that serves as a home away from home for patients’ families during their hospital stay.

Interested students can join one of six planning committees. Applications are available here and should be submitted by Wednesday, Oct. 8.
