Stanford Dance Marathon aims to create, educate, inspire and mobilize community to combat AIDS through a 24 hour dance and fund-raising party. Over 800 student participants stay awake and on their feet for 24 hours in an effort to symbolize both the mental and physical challenges faced by individuals suffering from AIDS.
At the event, a variety of crazy activities, costumes, contests, theme changes, student performances, and educational displays keep dancers entertained and inspired for all 24 hours. The year-long planning of this event culminates into an incredible showcase of student energy, unity, creativity, philanthropy, and diversity.
