University of Nebraska-Lincoln Dance Marathon is one of the largest student registered organizations on campus.
Every year, we recruit students on campus to join our fight for future Huskers. Throughout the year, we host engaging events on campus to recruit, educate, and inspire students to join the movement and fundraise to provide essential resources for Children’s Nebraska in Omaha.
The pinnacle of the year is an 8-hour “dance marathon” called Huskerthon. UNL students and kids who have been treated at Children’s Hospital come together to celebrate the lives of these children and their families. We integrate dancing, live acts such as a children’s talent show, crafts and activities for all ages, and even shaving heads for the kids. This event is an opportunity to let these children simply be children and for the families to enjoy.
Join our movement in ensuring no family fights the fight alone and to give every child a chance to be a future Husker.
