Students getting their symbolic wristbands cut off by miracle children. University of Nebraska–Lincoln students exceeded their goal, raising $235,229 during the annual HuskerThon on Feb. 29. 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 29, 2020.
