“I’m here representing Dance Marathon at LSU. We’re one of the largest student
run philanthropic organizations on campus. We’re out here to spread the love
and share our mission and passion with whoever we can and touch campus in
general. We do everything we can do for the kids. I actually organized my own
mini-marathon back home in Georgia. I lived ten minutes outside of UGA so I
was organizing it with their Miracle Network. I fell in love with the cause and the
Children’s Miracle Network as a whole. When I came here I knew being involved
with Dance Marathon was exactly what I wanted to do. I fortunately met a
resident assistant who was a leadership member and through them I became
more involved with the cause. This year we organized the Monster Dash fun run
to get all campus partners in the community together. We’ve had involvement
with running clubs, families that we’ve impacted, LSU Gymnastics, and the Phi
Mu sorority. A bunch of people are volunteering to raise awareness and grow
their personal connection to our community. We also planned to have a costume
competition. We got a couple of these inflatable tube man costumes to help with
our outreach around campus. I’m wearing this purple one and someone else
has a gold one, so we have a little rivalry going on. People can become involved
with our organization all throughout the year just by reaching out to us. Any
involvement directly benefits all of the kids, and their families greatly appreciate
people helping out.”
