The Inaugural Cedar Rapids Dance Marathon!


Cedar Rapids Dance Marathon is an organization that raises funds 365 days a year for pediatric patients treated at the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital.  While there are more than 150 dance marathons across the nation each year, Coe College will be hosting the first ever dance marathon held by more than one school. The event is April 16-17, from 7 pm to 7 am with participants from: Coe College, Mount Mercy University and Kirkwood Community College.

This 12-hour event is a celebration of the culmination of an entire year of fundraising and features: a live DJ, dance team performances, a Best Buy game room and more!

Once registered, dancers are encouraged to raise $100 each. 100% of the money dancers raise supports local families from Cedar Rapids that have been treated for various terminal illnesses at the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital. The goal of the entire event is to raise $12,000, all for the kids!
