IUDM: Where Hoosier Spirit Meets Heart

For over three decades, the Indiana University Dance Marathon (IUDM), or IU Dance Marathon, has been a beacon of compassion and fundraising prowess. This student-run philanthropy has become a beloved tradition at Indiana University Bloomington, capturing the hearts of both participants and supporters.

More than just a dance marathon: IUDM is a 36-hour endurance test of dedication. But it's far more than just staying on your feet. It's a culmination of months of fundraising efforts by passionate students – the dancers – who commit to raising critical funds for Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis.

A legacy of giving: Founded in 1991, IUDM was born from a student's desire to honor a friend battling illness. Since then, it has transformed into a fundraising powerhouse, amassing over $50 million for Riley Hospital. These funds directly support vital pediatric care, ensuring children receive the treatment they need to thrive.

A weekend of inspiration: Every November, the IUDM culminates in a powerful, emotion-filled weekend. The event space transforms into a vibrant hub of activity, buzzing with music, entertainment, and most importantly, unwavering commitment. Witnessing the dancers' perseverance and the outpouring of community support is a truly inspiring experience.

Fueling hope for Riley Hospital: The impact of IUDM extends far beyond the event itself. The funds raised provide Riley Hospital with crucial resources, from cutting-edge medical equipment to life-saving treatments.  This translates to a brighter future for countless children and their families.

Hoosier spirit on display: IUDM embodies the very essence of the Hoosier spirit – resilience, compassion, and a commitment to community. It's a testament to the power of student activism and the unwavering dedication of individuals coming together for a cause greater than themselves.

Join the movement: IUDM offers opportunities for everyone to get involved. Whether you participate as a dancer, volunteer, or donate, you become part of something remarkable.  This is your chance to be a champion for children's health and make a tangible difference in their lives.

IUDM is more than just a dance marathon; it's a testament to the power of collective action and the unwavering spirit of Hoosiers. It's a story of hope, resilience, and the unwavering pursuit of a healthier future for children.
