What is Dance Marathon?
Dance Marathon is the final fundraising event in Fayetteville-Manlius High School students' efforts to raise money for Camp Good Days and Special Times. For several months, students organize several events for the not-for-profit organization, culminating in Dance Marathon.
Dance Marathon is a 12-hour dance held at F-M High School that includes games, prizes, performances and more. Students must fundraise at least $50 to attend the dance, but many go far beyond the minimum.
This year, to get the student body more excited for the dance, the school has been split up into seven teams. These teams each have a color coordinating to an MC pair. The MCs will be contacting the students on their team in the weeks leading up to DM to notify them of upcoming events and fundraisers. The MCs will also be organizing competitions where the teams will battle against each other. The goal of each team is to raise the most money and create connections within the school. In this way, the MCs are more accessible on a personal level for the students.
All event proceeds are donated to Camp Good Days. The money helps send children affected by cancer to a week of carefree fun at the camp where they can relax and enjoy themselves.
Camp Good Days is a chance for children dealing with incredible challenges such as disease and death to have the light-hearted, fun-filled childhood they deserve.
Because Dance Marathon has raised thousands of dollars, hundreds of children can attend Camp Good Days completely free of charge.
