While 300 University of Dayton students danced from morning to night, 15 children and young adults took center stage in the Rec- Plex basketball court on Saturday, Nov. 9 to recount their experiences with Dayton Children’s Medical Center, as part of the 15th Annual UD Dance Marathon. Dance Marathon seeks to raise funds for Dayton’s pediatric hos- pital by asking students to collect donations for the hospital and stay active during the entire 15-hour event, according to Dayton Chil- dren’s website. UDDM co-presidents Melanie Grodecki, a senior education ma- jor, and Laura Karn, a senior psy- chology major, said this year’s goal was to raise $60,000. When UDDM officially ended its 15th hour of dancing at 1 a.m., the donations totaled $55,076.80, a record high for the marathon. Grodecki compared this year to previous ones, saying UDDM 2012 raised $51,000 in 12 hours and UDDM 1998, the marathon’s first year, raised $12,000 in a 28-hour period. “Each year the amount we raise has increased.
