Celebrating 2023 Dance Marathon Events
Congratulations to our incredible Dance Marathon programs on a successful event season! This year, over 2,500 students at fifteen K-12 schools and colleges across Central Florida participated in events to support Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children. Collectively, these programs raised more than $675,000 to fund pediatric programs and services at our hospital.
From lip-sync battles to human sundaes, these students put the “fun” in fundraising with their creative and innovative programming ideas. They also remained connected to our cause while advocating for children’s health and engaging with our ambassador families. Check out a few highlights from this event season below!
This successful year was made possible through the passion and dedication of our students, advisors, donors, and community partners. We are incredibly grateful for our 2023 Dance Marathon programs and are honored to recognize their year-long fundraising efforts.
