SHS Riley Dance Marathon!
Southport High School Riley Dance Marathon is a student-run organization that raises money for Riley Hospital for Children. Amongst our fundraising efforts we hold an annual “PUSH Day,” and it will take place on 4/10/19. We have had PUSH days the last two years and have successfully met our goal each year. In 2017 we raised over $5,000.00 in one day and in 2018 we raised over $8,000.00 in one day. This year, we hope to raise $15,000.00 all for the kids. If you wish to help us in this effort please visit this link: donate.rileykids.org/shsrdm19 to make a contribution!
