This year, Kappa Delta Pi will be participating in Dance Marathon! Dance Marathon will be held on April 13th and 14th, and 800 students will stand for 26.2 hours to show their support for the patients at Shands Hospital for Children at the University of Florida, our local Children’s Miracle Network hospital here in Gainesville. Even after standing for that long, the pain doesn’t come close to the physical and emotional struggles the patients at Shands Hospital for Children at UF go through every day. Since Dance Marathon began in 1995, it has raised more than $5.3 million for Shands Hospital for Children at UF, with more than $886,000 last year. As educators, we can all appreciate this program's dedication to these children. We all work hard every day to make life worth while for students, and Dance Marathon is just one more way for us to make a difference! Please consider donating and joining the team of physicians, volunteers, and students like us who are advancing the quality of children’s healthcare through Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Only with your support can we truly make miracles happen.
