IU Dance Marathon raises over $3 million for Riley Hospital for Children

INDIANA – The Indiana University Dance Marathon held its annual event on November 10-12 and raised $3,003,837.23 for the children at Riley Hospital for Children.

As the second-largest student-run philanthropy in the world, they have raised more than $50 million for Riley Hospital for Children over the years.

Since its organization’s humble beginning in 1991, the group has honored Ryan White’s incredible legacy by funding the Ryan White Center for Infectious Disease at Riley Hospital. Now the dance marathon has had the opportunity to begin funding other areas of the hospital in need of support.

More than 1,200 committee members work year-round to raise money, plan events, and spread awareness of the miracles happening at Riley every single day.

The Dance Marathon takes place in the fall, bringing together more than 4,000 IU students willing to stay awake and stand on their feet for 36 hours, honoring the brave Riley kids who inspire all of us to make a difference in the world.
