Dance Marathon, also called DM, is one of the world’s largest student-run philanthropies in the nation [1]. It is a weekend-long event where NU students dance for 30 hours straight to support a beneficiary. DM runs from a Friday evening to Sunday morning.
In 2014, the 40th year of Dance Marathon, the beneficiary was Team Joseph, a non-for-profit organization that seeks to fight Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a degenerative genetic muscle disease in boys.
