Welcome to Dance Marathon!
Thefirst time... Fun, food, music, dancing, friends, kids,
families, help. Such words embodied the vision of students
who helped make the first annual Rice University Dance Marathon a
success. On February 22, 2003, Rice students, Miracle
families, and members of the Houston community gathered from 10 pm
to 10 am to be a part of Stayin' Awake for Kids' Sake.
Our purpose...
2003 Stayin' Awake for Kid's Sake (or SAFKS)
was the first annual Dance Marathon at Rice University to raise
money for Memorial Hermann Children's Hospital, the local Children's
Miracle Network-affiliated hospital in the Houston area.
Children's Miracle Network (or CMN), which
began in 1983, is an international non-profit organization that is
associated with 170 children's hospitals throughout North America.
Through telethons, radiothons, and dance marathons, CMN has raised
over $2 billion for its hospitals. What makes CMN special is
their guarantee that money that is raised locally stays local and
their commitment to treating every child, regardless of affliction
or the family's financial status.
The future...
Stayin' Awake for Kid's Sake's success is
dependent on the members of the Rice community and Houston area.
Please, look through the website to find out how you can help in
2004 Dance Marathon and be a part of a great tradition. If you
