Valparaiso University students took to the dance floor for 12 hours on Saturday to raise money for Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago. The VU Dance Marathon has raised over a half a million dollars in its 11 years as the university’s biggest philanthropy event.
Students fundraised a total of $7,931.83, with two classes raising more than $1,000 each. The event followed Valparaiso University’s annual dance marathon April 2, where more than $72,000 was raised.
