Mollie Stokes
Year: Junior
Major: Nursing
Hometown: Wooster, Ohio
Favorite dance move: The stank face
Best song to dance to while nobody's watching: Cheetah sisters
Why I am FTK: I am FTK because no child should have to face a tough and scary situation alone. Family is so important because they are your shoulder to lean on and your hand to hold. I want to help keep families close to each other and help kids just be kids, because being a kid is so precious and goes by way too quickly. I want to give back to the Ronald McDonald House because they have given so much and have helped so many families stay together.

Maura Anderson
Year: Junior
Major: Strategic Communication
Hometown: Pittsburgh, PA
Favorite Dance Move: Dabbing
Best song to dance to like nobody’s watching: Countdown by Beyoncé
Why I am FTK: I’m FTK because I believe that being surrounded by loved ones can help people get through just about anything. All children should have the chance to grow up and enjoy the beauty of life in anything they want to do. No family should have to worry about finances, hotel reservations, or food costs when they have a sick child, so dancing to support them is extremely rewarding. Bringing families together while having the time of your life is an incredible experience!

Major: Journalism News and Information
Hometown: Columbus, OH
Dance Move: Nae Nae
Best song to dance to: Crazy In Love- Beyoncé
Why I am FTK: No one deserves to fight alone, and the Ronald McDonald House makes sure that doesn’t happen. I am dancing for the kids who can’t. Being apart of Bobcathon for the past two years has changed my life in ways unimaginable and it is so amazing to see so many people come together for such an amazing cause. This motivates me to be FTK and to dance like nobody is watching! Being on our feet for 12 hours doesn’t even compare to what some of the kids and families at the Ronald McDonald House are going through, so if we can all come together for this short amount of time to help these families, we can make a difference and that is what being FTK is all about!

What is a Morale Captain?
We know 12-hours of dancing can seem pretty daunting. That’s why you have a Morale Captain! These students will be your guide throughout the day of BobcaThon, and pump you all up, or "boost morale," throughout the rest of the year. They will be teaching the Line Dance on stage each hour, bustin' moves with you and the rest of your team, dressin' to impress (in their color, of course), and making sure you're all having the time of your lives!
What is a Color Team?
Although you may have already signed up with a team of your own on Firstgiving, the day of the Dance Marathon you will be placed on a "Color Team." This puts you in a bigger group of the Bobcat Family to bond with, do fundraisers with, participate in color wars with, and much much more! In addition, you are more than welcome, and encouraged, to get decked out in the color that you have been placed with on the day of the dance marathon!
What are Color Wars?
We're all about friendly competition here at BobcaThon, so throughout the year, and the day of DM, you will have MANY opportunities to accumulate Color War points. You can get points throughout the year by attending dancer meetings, hosting fundraisers, fun games, being an involved Dancer and fundraiser with BobcaThon, etc.! The possibilities are endless! Be on the lookout for news about opportunities to earn Color War points for your team!
