Annual Dance Marathon continues tradition of support

For the third consecutive year, UNC Charlotte students danced the night away to raise funds for the Levine Children’s Hospital.

The 12-hour Charlotte Dance Marathon, held Nov. 7-8, generated $49,049.73 in donations for the hospital. A student-led initiative, Charlotte Dance Marathon is a legacy project of the Levine Scholars Program. It was created in 2013 under the name 49er Dance Mine. The event featured a variety of activities, dancing and other entertainment. The marathon is the finale to a sustained fundraising effort involving a number of student organizations.

Organizers noted this third annual event was an effort to continue a tradition of community engagement in which University students raise funds for and generate awareness of the Levine Children’s Hospital.
