So, you saw all the hype for the 2016 UNC Dance Marathon during Dancer Recruitment Week in the fall, but you missed the deadline to sign up. Great news - there’s still a way to get join the fun of our biggest event of the year!
If you’re interested in experiencing this Carolina tradition on a smaller scale, be sure to sign up to motivate! If you need some convincing, here’s five reasons why you should:
1. It’s a smaller commitment
As a Motivator, you’re only committing to staying at the Marathon for a quarter of the time and you only pledge to raise a third of the funds as a dancer. That means you’ll stand for six hours and raise $60. So bring a snack and some comfy shoes and come on out to enjoy the Marathon!
If you still think that’s a lot, we need help from volunteers too! With that you’ll pledge just $30 and help us with Marathon setup on March 31, or Marathon check in on April 1.
2. You get full access to Dance Marathon
As a Motivator, you’ll be one of the few non-dancers that has complete access to everything at the Marathon. Visitors are limited to see only certain parts of Fetzer gym, but as a Motivator, you can still access every performance and every event that goes on while you’re there. Get to see the best entertainment Carolina has to offer while you’re here!
3. You get to dress up in cool costumes
The Motivator shifts all have different themes that you can dress up for! Every six hour shift has a different theme, including #TBT, America, Seasons and In the Spotlight!
4. You get a cool t-shirt
As a Motivator or volunteer, you get an awesome t-shirt that you can wear. As we all know, t-shirts are essential to the college experience, so add another to your collection by signing up as a motivator or volunteer!
5. Participate in a fun scavenger hunt
Motivators will have an exclusive event only for them — the motivator scavenger hunt! The scavenger hunt is designed to help Motivators get the most out of their six-hours with fun tasks to complete throughout each shift!
The Marathon will be happening on April 1-2, so be sure to come out and motivate!
