Dance Marathon student leaders earn distinguished awards

Nearly one year ago, students at our Dance Marathon programs were planning another year of incredible fundraising for UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital. No one predicted how drastically those plans would change.

Despite unimaginable circumstances, Dance Marathon at UF, Dance Marathon at FSU and OwlThon at FAU persevered with inspirational tenacity. All for the kids. This is why we are proud to share that four graduating seniors were awarded the coveted Miracle Network Dance Marathon Distinguished Leader award! Our deepest gratitude and congratulations to Taylor Williams and Jaelyne Vigoa, Florida State University; Daniella Lanes, Florida Atlantic University; and Shayna Goldrich, University of Florida. Thank you for inspiring thousands and passionately supporting our youngest patients.
