Although the Pre-Health Club organizes the event, a large part of the campus community pitches in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The cause is the main thing that draws students to it,&#8221; Pre-Health Adviser Robin Prichard said. Plus: \u201cIt\u2019s just really fun.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From 5-10 p.m. in the Campus Center Pioneer Rooms, the marathon will feature different themes \u2014 last year\u2019s included Beach, Rave and Western \u2014 and participants learn a dance at the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Around 30 Pioneers who are serving with the Transylvania event\u2019s leadership group have been busy lately with fundraising, signing up teams, planning for decorations and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/transydancemarathon\/\">spreading the word on social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/2024\/03\/transy-dance-marathon-uniting-students-in-support-of-pediatric-cancer-patients\/\">Last year&#8217;s inaugural event<\/a> drew around 130 participants and raised $6,400.

Additionally, the organization that raises the most money wins a prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fundraising by the Transylvania community has already started&nbsp; \u2014 from a bake sale to a trivia night with a raffle hosted by the Pre-PA Club and PhiDE on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even beyond campus, groups and businesses like Chick-fil-A are giving to the marathon, which will provide food for dancers. &#8220;We&#8217;re hoping to get everything donated so all of the money we raise goes directly to the cause,&#8221; Prichard said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dance is a mini version of the University of Kentucky\u2019s DanceBlue marathon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senior Madi Davis, Transy&#8217;s Pre-Health Club president, has played a leading role in helping make the event a success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last April, she was the one who presented the oversized check from Transylvania\u2019s dance at UK&#8217;s 24-hour marathon in Rupp Arena. &#8220;That was really cool,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Davis was also part of a group that visited the DanceBlue clinic last year. &#8220;It was amazing,&#8221; she said. The stories of young patients are displayed along a hallway there. &#8220;It was really touching to be in the clinic and see all of the lives that they have helped.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
