The annual Dance Marathon charity fund-raising event will be held Nov. 4-5 at the Athletic Complex.

Planned and executed entirely by undergraduate students at WUSTL, all proceeds go directly to St. Louis Children’s Hospital and Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center. While fund-raising events take place throughout the entire year, the main event is the 12-hour dance-a-thon.
