By committing to this event, and pledging to raise money for its success, you are helping raise invaluable funds for less toxic childhood cancer research! We are dedicated to this much needed research and all proceeds raised from the iDance4aCURE dance marathons will allow us to fund much needed childhood cancer research  Over the past two years and because of your support, we have donated over $140,000 to reasearch and hope to reach one million dollars for research! 

We wish you all the success possible. Remember that when you are tired and feel as though you may not want to continue, there are others out there who don't have the choice. Let's dance for them!
