Northwestern University Dance Marathon

Northwestern University Dance Marathon (NUDM) is one of the largest entirely student-run philanthropies in the nation, now in its 43rd year. Over 1000 dancers and committee members come together annually to dance for 30 hours straight, raising funds for NUDM’s primary and secondary beneficiaries. Since 1975, NUDM has raised over $17 million for more than 30 charitable organizations. This year, NUDM is partnering with GiGi’s Playhouse, a nonprofit organization that provides support and programming for individuals with Down syndrome, and The Evanston Community Foundation. The event aims to improve the lives of those with Down syndrome and promote acceptance and hope for everyone. To learn more, visit www.nudm.org.
