This year marks the 8th annual Dance Marathon here at Purdue, an event that has grown 10-fold since its innagural marathon and raised almost $600,000 for Riley Hospital for Children.  The goal for this year’s marathon is bigger than ever at $250,000, and you can help it be reached! The 18-hour event is filled with tons of fun activities, and will be a great opportunity to have fun while giving back. This year’s PUDM will take place on November 19, beginning at 6PM and ends on November 20 at 12PM. To register, visit http://www.helpmakemiracles.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.eventDetails&eventID=841, and be sure to keep up to date with Her Campus Purdue as we feature PUDM each week leading up to the big dance!
