ORLANDO, FL – March 4, 2015 – Christopher Dawson, an associate in GrayRobinson’s Orlando office, founded Central Florida’s Dance Marathon. Dance Marathon is a nationwide movement that involves college and high school students at more than 250 schools across the country, all raising money for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospital in their community. These students spend a year learning invaluable leadership and life skills while raising funds and interacting with children’s hospital patients and families. The year culminates with a 12-40 hour long event where the students stay on their feet through dancing, games and entertainment in celebration of the total amount raised that year.
The first marathon will take place June 2016, and the participants will stand for 13.1 hours to "dance for those who can’t." Learn how to get involved with Dance Marathon here.
