Carolina for the Kids will partner with NC Children's Promise

11/24/2014

 
The Daily Tar Heel

Carolina For the Kids, formerly known as UNC Dance Marathon, announced another big change regarding its future on Saturday — instead of fundraising for the N.C. Children’s Hospital as usual, the group will raise money to build a clinic for it.

The organization has partnered with N.C. Children’s Promise, which benefits critically ill children and their families, and has pledged about $2.5 million over the next five years for a general pediatrics clinic that will be run by the N.C. Children’s Hospital.

The amount given each year will depend on that year’s fundraising total, said spokesman Brendan Leonard. In the 2013-14 academic year, the group raised more than $550,000 — the most in its history.

Newly renamed Dance Marathon has no plans to slow down this year, close to record for enrollment

The Pit will see significantly fewer people dressed in grape suits and tutus now that recruitment week for Dance Marathon — the most popular event put on by the recently renamed Carolina For the Kids Foundation — has finished.

Recruitment ended Friday, and as of Sunday night, the number of registered dancers was 1,943, which approached the 2013 record of approximately 2,000 people.

“Registrations have still been rolling in over the past week because we haven’t actually technically closed it online,” said Brendan Leonard, the group’s publicity chairman.

He believes recruitment will match, if not exceed, 2,000 dancers.
