This year 123 committee members worked hard to put on this event. This weekend our work continued as thousands of people were able to experience this extraordinary event. This year we had over 800 dancers, hundreds of volunteers, and thousands of moralers. Not to mention many many special guests that included celebrities, media outlets, and most importantly representatives and children from our beneficiaries. This year we raised a grand total of $407,223.73!!!! This is the largest amount we have ever raised in our 9 years of Dance Marathon at UCLA! We would like to thank Name Tag again for helping us out with this event. It is only with generous companies like Name Tag, Inc. that allow us to have such a successful event.

Dance Marathon at UCLA is the largest student-organized philanthropic event on the West Coast. It seeks to unite the campus and the surrounding LA community in the fight against pediatric AIDS and to spread awareness about the disease by putting on a 26 hour dance-o-thon on February 13-14th. With the support of donors and sponsors, Dance Marathon has raised nearly 1.4 million dollars for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF), the worldwide leader in the fight against pediatric AIDS, and the summer camps, Project Kindle and OneHeartland. In 2009, Dance Marathon united over 2,500 supporters and grossed $385,000 in financial contributions.

Now in its ninth consecutive year of operation, Dance Marathon has established itself as a tradition on the UCLA campus and in the Los Angeles community. Still a young organization, DM is constantly looking for new and innovative ways to unite students, community activists, celebrities and leaders around the cause of pediatric AIDS. This year, Dance Marathon at UCLA anticipates another monumental celebration of campus unity, entertainment, energy, education, and an ongoing commitment to the cause.

We would like to thank Name Tag, Inc. for their donation of 1100 badge holders! Without companies like them our event would not be possible.

Thank you!
