Join us at Chicago Dance Marathon 2019!

We are just 44 days away from our 10th annual Chicago Dance Marathon event, presented by Solstice.

Over that past nine years,Chicago Dance Marathon has provided funds and awareness for Lurie Children’s to ensure that no family suffers through pediatric illness and injury alone. Throughout this time, Chicago Dance Marathon has made a difference in the lives of patients and families and has raised over $2 million dollars for the kids.

What is Chicago Dance Marathon?  Chicago Dance Marathon is an entertainment packed fundraiser benefiting the patients and families of Lurie Children’s.  If you participated in Miracle Network Dance Marathon in college, it’s much like the program that you attended at your college or university.  The day is packed with families sharing their experiences with Lurie Children’s, entertainment, a Microsoft Game Room and SO much more!

14-year-old high schooler Ellie, who has spina bifida has attended CDM since she was 5, and if you ask her it’s her favorite day of the year. As Ellie grows each year, CDM is a reminder to her and her family that they are not alone in their fight.

Now, as we prepare for our 10th annual Chicago Dance Marathon, we want to dream big. We have set a goal to raise $500,000 for Lurie Children’s on behalf of our patients and families. But we can’t hit that goal without the help of the Chicagoland community coming together FOR THE KIDS.
