On Saturday, March 28, UGA Miracle announced it raised $1,402,031.26 for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at its 31st annual Dance Marathon. More than 2,000 students, faculty, staff and community members gathered in Stegeman Coliseum to celebrate one of the University of Georgia’s largest student-run organizations and its continued commitment to children’s health.
The event marked a 13.5-hour marathon of dancing, fundraising and celebration, bringing together the Athens community in support of a shared mission. Participants engaged in activities throughout the day, including silent discos, live music, morale group games and time spent with Miracle Families.
“Dance Marathon brings together over 1,000 members of the Athens community in support of one mission: changing kids’ health,” said Halle Bryan, Dance Marathon events chair. “The people in this organization are some of the most genuine and intentional I have met, and their passion is truly reflected throughout this event. Getting to know our Miracle Families makes the impact even more meaningful and reminds us why we do what we do.”
