Well, today was the big day! While all the young kids are now (hopefully) tucked into bed and all us old kids are happily icing our knees and contemplating back massages(!), we wanted to check in to express our sincere and heartfelt appreciation to everyone who was involved in any capacity with the tremendous success of CHICAGO Dance Marathon, the very first urban dance marathon in the country!
Today, on the first beautiful weekend day we've had weather-wise in Chicagoland in quite some time, hundreds of dancers, volunteers, miracle families and visitors gave up their entire Saturday for a cause greater than themselves. We packed the dance floor for 13.1 hours, never sitting down and never giving up! Together we raised...get this...$240,068.80 (and counting) for Children's Memorial Hospital!!!!!! We hear that may be a record for an inaugural year event!
Over the next days, weeks and even months, we'll be sharing tons more about the event on our blog - photos, stories, videos, etc. For now though, please know that none of this would have been possible without your support - both financial and emotional! Although it doesn't seem like nearly enough to adequately express our gratitude, we'd just like to say from the bottom of our hearts...thank you.
For The Kids!
