Join Us

Celebrate an evening of hope, growth, and impact at Dance Marathon's annual Gala. This formal fundraising event brings together students, Miracle Families, alumni, donors, and community members to recognize the incredible difference our organization makes. Inspired by this year's theme, In Full Bloom, we'll celebrate how our community continues to grow while supporting pediatric cancer patients and their families. Doors will open at 5:30 PM for a cocktail hour, followed by dinner at 6:30 PM, with programming to follow.
