MSU Dance Marathon Meeting Preview

The MSU Dance Marathon has been preparing for their annual Dance Marathon and will hold a meeting Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.

The Dance Marathon will happen on March 29 and it is a 12-hour event in which all participants must stand for the full 12 hours.

The executive board of the organization has been preparing all year by having weekly meetings - not only with the e-board but also with the all committees members - and has multiple fundraisers throughout the year that will help cover the final event.

Dancers that attend the event will be required to pay a participation fee of $15 and raise $100 or more for their foundation, which has been The Cassie Hines Shoes Cancer Foundation.

The foundation they support is local and was made to remember a former MSU speech pathology student - Cassie Hines - who died at the age of 21 when she was a junior at the university.

Registration for the Dance Marathon is already open to anyone who wants to participate.

Last year was MSU DM's most successful year. They raised over $25,570.92 and "hope to raise more this year," Vice President Shelby Nadolski said.
