220226 Dance Marathon 006

Miracle Family members who attend the marathon run through a cheering tunnel of students to start the marathon. University of Nebraska–Lincoln students exceeded their goal, raising over $230,000 during the annual HuskerThon on Feb. 26. Also known as Dance Marathon, the event is part of a nationwide fundraiser supporting Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. The annual event, which launched in 2006, is the largest student philanthropic event on campus. The mission of the event encourages participants to, “dance for those who can’t.” All funds collected by the Huskers benefit the Children’s Hospital and Medical Center in Omaha. February 26, 2022.
