Katie Otto is a member of the Publicity Committee
"In our sixth and final Pause For The Cause of the 2017 UNC Dance Marathon, dancers were able to hear a story from the hospital manager about how all the work we do throughout the year to raise money for UNC Children's has a real impact. For so many families who have children in the hospital, they simply do not have the time to carry the financial burden of treatments while also worrying about losing precious time and memories with their child, working day-to-day jobs in order to pay bills, and still looking after their other children. Carolina For The Kids is able to help alleviate the financial stresses of having a child in the hospital, which allows parents to focus on what matters most: their family. Hearing this Pause For The Cause story was a great way to remind us what our fundraising efforts throughout the year go towards and why we stand...For The Kids!"
