The Mission of Dance Marathon

The goal of Dance Marathon is to raise money for the patients of the Hematology and Oncology unit of East Tennessee Children's Hospital, while providing a fun-filled and heart felt event that involves UT's best and brightest students as well as community members. DM seeks to make a difference in the lives of the thousands of children undergoing treatment for both cancer and blood-related disorders.
