What is the UNC Dance Marathon?
Our year-long fundraising efforts usually culminate in a 24-hour no-sitting, no-sleeping UNC Dance Marathon held in the spring on the campus of UNC-Chapel Hill. Each year, over 2,000 students pledge to remain on their feet for 24 hours to show their support for our cause. The UNC Dance Marathon is our largest event with the most student involvement than any other event throughout the year.
This year we will have a virtual marathon with a shorter in-person component in accommodate for COVID-19 regulations. This new format will be just as much For the Kids as any other year and we can't wait to see you there!
