Good morning! Reporting live from the University of Maryland dance marathon:
What is dance marathon you ask? Well, it’s a student run fundraiser for CMN Hospitals – students pledge to stand for those who can’t and raise money for the kids! The students at the University of Maryland stood for 12 hours – other universities stand for 24 or even 36!
This team of mine and I have never attended one of these amazing events. We were really excited! Rog got all dolled up for the occasion (thanks to the perfect365 app):
We had a lot of fun throughout the day:
And enjoyed our little break (shhh!):
These kids stood and danced all day long – and the final hour, called power hour, was like a big rave! We all got doooown:
Then the final reveal came – their goal was a 40% increase to 2014 and they beat it! They raised $604k for their local CMN Hospital. AMAZING:
What a great opportunity for these college students – they put the whole event on, and did a really great job!
