Chicago Dance Marathoner's unite!
CHICAGO Dance Marathon
While I may be man's best friend, even "man" likes to help out others occasionally. Coming up on March 6th, 2010, CHICAGO is going to have its first DANCE MARATHON. Here's a little comment from their website:
On March 6, 2010 Chicago will be the host of the first-ever Urban Dance Marathon. Hundreds of local young professionals will gather at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place for one day to participate in a life changing experience, complete with the opportunity to meet the children and families treated by Children’s Memorial Hospital and the beneficiaries of the funds raised by CHICAGO Dance Marathon.The funds raised by CHICAGO Dance Marathon will benefit the greatest needs at Children’s Memorial Hospital, which have traditionally included Charity Care, Advocacy, Patient & Family Services and Pediatric Research.With your help we hope to make CHICAGO Dance Marathon one of Chicago’s biggest and most successful philanthropic events.
CHICAGO Dance Marathon
For those of you that don't know, Dance Marathon is an event set up by Children's Miracle Network (also famous for that nifty Make a Wish thingamajig) in which a participant, or Dancer, stays on their feet for a long period of time in support of children battling life threatening conditions. Events can run from 8 hours, to 36 hours, and beyond in an attempt to allow Dancer's to empathize with these children. Dancers raise donations for the hours that they dance, and these funds are donated to a regional Children's Memorial Hospital, where those funds can be used for anything from treatment, to family support, to providing diversions for the children.
Needless to say, this should turn out to be an INCREDIBLY fun event, and I highly encourage you readers to get your hindquarters on the dance floor for these kids.
The Nose Knows will be there, and I'll certainly be "sniffing" for you.
