Coming up in March, hundreds of Hope College students will dance and be on their feet for 24 hours to raise money and awareness for children who are fighting for their lives.
You can begin helping the students on Monday, Feb. 26. Hope College Dance Marathon will be hosting a fundraising push.
Because this is the 19th year for Hope College Dance Marathon, students are trying to raise $19,000 in 24 hours. All of that money will go to Helen DeVos Children's Hospital.
The event happens on March 9 and 10. That's when we'll find out how much money the students raised through the year.
Along with Dance Marathon, Hope students have organized other fundraisers, including a 5K, Silent Auction, and smaller marathons at both West Ottawa High School and Zeeland East High School.
Donations will be accepted through the organization's website.
