USC Dance Marathon

University of South Carolina Dance Marathon is the largest student-run philanthropic organization on in the state of South Carolina. We are a movement uniting our students, campus, and community to raise funds for the Child Life Program at Prisma Health Children's Hospital, our local Children's Miracle Network Hospital. Throughout the year, we host a variety of events including our spring Main Event, which is a 14-hour no-sitting, no-sleeping dance marathon that celebrates the culmination of a year’s worth of efforts to raise financial and emotional support for the patients of Prisma Health Children’s Hospital. In 2020, we had another record-breaking year, raising $1,016,822 for Prisma Health Children's Hospital. Now entering our 23rd year, Dance Marathon at USC has raised over $6.7 million to help improve the lives of over 150,000 children across the state. USCDM will celebrate its 23rd year of existence in 2020-2021 and we invite you to celebrate the year with us and join us in raising even more funds for Prisma Health Children's Hospital.
