Dance Marathon at the University of Michigan (DMUM) is one of the largest student-run non-profit organizations on the University of Michigan’s campus. DMUM strives to raise both monetary support and awareness for the needs of pediatric rehabilitation programs through year-round events. Each year we allocate funds for rehabilitation programs to C.S. Mott Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor, Michigan and Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak. These creative and interactive therapies enrich the lives of children, their families, and their communities.
Our year-round efforts culminate in March when hundreds of students stand on their feet for thirty hours to show their dedication to the children, families, and hospitals we support. At this event, hundreds of individuals and groups from campus and the community come together to raise awareness about pediatric rehabilitation. During the Marathon, dancers are challenged mentally and physically, gaining perspective of the even greater challenges and obstacles facing the children we support.
