Purdue University Dance Marathon

Last November, I participated in Purdue University Dance Marathon. PUDM is an annual student run event which raises money for the Riley Hospital for Children. Throughout this 18 hour marathon, we learned a group dance, heard from the Riley families, and watched other performances. There was also lots of businesses who donated food and provided activates to keep all of the dancers’ spirits up. I had a great time spending this meaningful time with friends and meeting the Riley families.

PUDM 2011 raised $303,562.82 for the kids of Riley Hospital. It was an inspiring event and I hope to participate again next year.
