Making. Miracles. Happen.
Our mission is to raise funds and awareness for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. We pour our hearts into organizing various fundraising events on and off campus that support UVA Health Children's.

Fundraising
From making milkshakes in D-Hall to cutting hair on Warner Commons, we love to plan fun and unique events throughout the year to contribute to our cause. Other events include a thrift market and local proceeds nights!

Hospital Tours
Unique to our Dance Marathon organization, we are fortunate to visit and interact with our local Children’s Hospital. A couple times a year, we travel to Charlottesville to tour the NICU, in-patient facilities, and even host activities with the children.
Since 2014, JMU Dance Marathon has raised over $800,000 for the UVA Children’s Hospital.

Our Impact
Our Local CMNH
We are so fortunate as a Dance Marathon organization, to have our Miracle Hospital just forty-five minutes down the road in Charlottesville, VA. UVA Health Children’s is the #1 Children’s Hospital in Virginia, so it is especially rewarding to be able to visit, learn about the hospital, and host activities for children in need.
