Dear sponsors and Community Members,

The University of Iowa Dance Marathon would not be the organization it is today without the
support of local and national sponsors. Your contributions play a vital role in empowering the
largest student-run philanthropy at The University of Iowa.

Sponsoring Dance Marathon offers more than just visibility. It provides your organization with a
meaningful opportunity to connect with passionate and driven students, influential campus
leaders, and a cause that impacts families right here in our community. As we enter our thirty-
second year, we greet the opportunity to share every story, honoring and uplifting the unique
experiences that Dance Marathon gives us.

Dance Marathon is more than a single weekend event. It’s a yearlong commitment to raising
funds and awareness for pediatric cancer patients and their families undergoing treatment at the
University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital, through Children’s Miracle Network
Hospitals. With the help of our sponsors, more than 3,000 students and community members
take part in impactful events throughout the year, designed to highlight our efforts and honor the
strength of our families we support.

At each event, sponsors are not only recognized but celebrated. Your brand becomes part of our
mission, gaining meaningful exposure while directly contributing to a cause that changes lives. If
your organization is interested in making a difference and aligning with a cause that truly
matters, I’d love to connect. We’re committed to building a partnership that supports both your
business goals and the Dance Marathon mission. Every donation, every partnership—large or
small—helps us fight for a better tomorrow.
