January 2011 marked the return of Dance Marathon to the Minnesota State University-Mankato campus. Dance Marathon is an event held at the end of a fundraising season with all proceeds benefiting the Children's Miracle Network and more specifically, Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare in St. Paul, MN. This year, Dance Marathon was able to raise about $9000 for the hospital and bring in a crowd of at least 150 participants. The patients and their families that were in attendance thoroughly enjoyed themselves and appreciated the opportunity to support the hospital that has helped them so much. The families also shared that they enjoyed the interaction of our great students with their children. This event allowed our Greek community, our university community and our community at large to shine and really show these families that we support them. We look forward to the 2012 Dance Marathon which will take place on February 4th, 2012.
The Leaders of Tomorrow program was recently selected for a NASPA (National Association of Student Personnel Administrators) as the Silver Honoree for an innovative program in the category of Student Union and Leadership programs. Click here to read more about this award!
