CHICAGO Dance Marathon Gives Thanks

Although we don't necessarily need a reason, this special time of year invites all of us to pause and give thanks for the blessings in our lives.  We at CHICAGO Dance Marathon have so many reasons to be grateful.  First among them are the amazing children at Children's Memorial Hospital for whom this organization has been dedicated.  Their stories and perseverance, often in the face of incredible struggle, inspire the work we do to support their journeys. We know we are only some of the many people whose lives have been profoundly changed by their incredible examples.

Also among our Thanksgiving blessings are the generous sponsors who have signed on thus far in support of CDM:

• KPMG, LLC.
• Groupon
• CH Robinson
• HUB 51
• Twelve Bars of Christmas (TBOX)
• William Blair

We'd also like to express our deep thanks to the more than 100 dancers that have registered so far for CDM 2011!  If you haven't already signed up, please do so today by visiting our website www.chicagodancemarathon.org.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

For the Kids!

Help Us Volunteer at the World's Most Spectacular Pub Crawl!

CHICAGO Dance Marathon is looking for volunteers to help us support our partnership with Festa Parties' 15th Annual Twelve Bars of Xmas (TBOX), the world's most spectacular pub crawl!  This year's event will take place on Saturday, December 11th, 2010 from 8am until closing time in the pubs of Wrigleyville.  


So how exactly do you volunteer at a pub crawl?  Well, volunteers will work a shift at one of the more than 25 bars participating in the event.  You'll act as a representative of TBOX on site, passing out stickers, taking pictures, greeting crawlers, distributing the infamous cereal shots, socializing and chatting up CHICAGO Dance Marathon!  As an added plus, each volunteer will get two free meals and free soft drinks provided by their stationed bar.


Shifts are from 11:30 am until 9:30 pm.  All volunteers must attend a training session on Wednesday, December 1st at 7:30 at Rebel Bar (3462 N. Clark) in Wrigleyville.


Interested in helping?  Contact Annie McNulty at amcnulty@chicagodancemarathon.org for a registration form.  Hope you can join us!
