Dance Marathon a Success
Several City High Ambassadors worked very hard to make the City High Dance Marathon a success. They dedicated hours and hours of their time planning, baking, coordinating, setting up, and cleaning up. In addition, they used their own money to purchase ingredients for baked goods, costumes, and anything else that would make the event successful.
In 2017, 70 students attended City High's Dance Marathon. A record setting 300 attended on January 20, 2018! The students raised $4,000 that will be donated to the U of I to enable clinical trials for certain types of children's cancer at the U of I. That is more than twice as much money in comparison to the amount raised last year and more than quadruple the number of attendees!
The UI Dance Marathon recognized their efforts. Even though individuals are expected to raise $500 each in order to particpate in UI's Dance Marathon, 8 City High students were invited to participate in UI Dance Marathon in recognition of their efforts at the City High Dance Marathon: Phoebe Chapnick-Sorokin, Orson Codd, Alexa Fredericks, Beatrice Kearns, Stella Lindamen, Cole Milder, Kaylee Paulsen, and April Wilson. They will dance from 7 p.m. on Friday, February 2 until 7 p.m. on Saturday, February 3 in order to raise money for children with cancer.
City High applauds these hard working Little Hawks with big philanthropic hearts.
