The Idea

The Dance Marathon is a six-hour fundraising event sponsored by the UCR Alumni Association, UCR Student Alumni Association, and Golden Key International Honor Society at Riverside with the purpose of raising money and awareness of the Guardian Scholars program to benefit emancipated foster youth.

The Specifics

Organized entirely by students, the Dance Marathon (DM2012) is a brand new six-hour initiative that brings UC Riverside students, staff, faculty, and entertainers together in order to raise money for an amazing cause. The event will include DJs, food, giveaways, and
competitions that will inspire students to stand up for education and help support former foster youth. Proceeds raised from DM2012 will go directly to students at UC Riverside through the Guardian Scholars Program which provides scholarships, life-coaching, mentors, housing, and personalized attention to emancipated foster youth. Your sponsorship will aide in the successful planning, fruition, and bottom line of fundraising as much as possible for these students.
