Many UCF students wish that they can be a part of something big but do not know where exactly to start. Many of these want to help children and make a difference in their worlds. If you are one of these fellow knights, then Knight-thon is the place for you to be this April 5!
Knight-thon is UCF’s annual dance marathon which helps raise money for kids and is supported by students, organizations, and community members from around Orlando. During the event, the community comes together to dance for 20 hours straight in support of Greater Orlando Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
Students raise money year round through different fundraiser events or through personal support from their friends and family.
Money raised (which stays local) supports kids in these hospitals in many different ways such as with support research, new equipment, or uncompensated care.
This year, their goal is $365,000.
Over the 20 hours, different families from the Greater Orlando area will come to share their stories with participants as they dance non-stop.
The event will be full of food, entertainment, and even bounce houses! Come together with your fellow knights and dance the ‘knight’ away in support of these kids and make their dreams into miracles.
The event will be held April 5-6 from 12 p.m. to 12 p.m. at The Venue.
