At the University of Michigan, Dance Marathon isn’t just a celebration—it’s a lifeline. Powered by passionate students through generous donors, Dance Marathon at the University of Michigan (DMUM) supports pediatric programs at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, where they bring many moments of joy and cultivate connection to young patients and their families.
Through therapies encompassed in DMUM such as Sophie’s Place and music therapy, DMUM fosters a community where no child feels alone and no family walks through hardship without hope. For children like Abigail, a childhood cancer survivor, the smiles, dedication, and compassion delivered by DMUM events make a lasting difference.
Your generosity helps these student-led efforts thrive and ensure that therapies, activities, and opportunities not covered by insurance continue to reach the Little Victors who need them. Together, we’re bringing families comfort and creating joy, one dance (and pie in the face!) at a time.
Thank you for making it possible. Go Blue!
