With the wrap-up of Dancer Recruitment Week, it is easy to get caught up in Dance Marathon fever.. .and for good reason! The UNC Dance Marathon is the biggest Carolina For The Kids fundraiser, and it is the most visible event on campus. However, Carolina For The Kids does so much more than just organize the Dance Marathon.
Some of the many activities that Carolina For The Kids organizes are pairing UNC Children’s patients with “Hospital Buddies,” who visit and support them, serving free meals to parents of patients in the hospital itself once a week through Parent’s Night Out, and playing with patients in the Pediatric Playroom. The organization also funds a grant program that aids resources that directly impact patients. The UNC Dance Marathon happens once each year, but these activities occur year-round and have a direct impact on the families and patients of UNC Children’s.
