McMaster Dance Marathon

---

In 2015, in collaboration with Children's Miracle Network, Smiling Over Sickness hosted the very first McMaster Dance Marathon event!

To give you a bit of a background on what this event is all about, Children’s Miracle Network is an international, non-profit organization that raises funds for 170 children’s hospitals, 14 of which are in Canada. Children's Miracle Network's fundraising initiatives include Dance Marathon, an international movement involving college and high school students at more than 300 schools across North America. All proceeds go towards a partnering pediatric hospital in their community - in 2013 alone, the movement raised over $15.5 million for this worthy cause! Make sure to visit the official websites of Children's Miracle Network and Dance Marathon for more information. 

The second annual McMaster Dance Marathon was held on March 4th, 2016, and featured performances from talented McMaster student groups such as MacBEAT and Mac Dance, guest speakers from McMaster Children's Hospital, a raffle prize draw, zumba and other dance lessons, and much more! The event was a huge success, with 118 participants and over $5,000 raised towards this worthy cause :)
