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.
