Indiana University Dance Marathon is one of the biggest student philanthropy events in the United States, raising more than $56 million for Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. For Mena Morcos it’s personal – he has family who have been treated at Riley. Mena did Dance Marathon all four years of high school, and now he’s on the leadership team as a student at IU.

2025 fundraising launches October 9 with the annual “Day of Hope” event, then the actual Dance Marathon runs November 7-9
