Stanford Dance Marathon seeks to inspire, educate, and mobilize the community to combat HIV/AIDS and support international health by raising a meaningful amount of money for our beneficiaries through a year of fundraising, education, and community-building. This collaborative effort among student groups, university administration, and the surrounding community culminates in a 24-hour Dance Marathon of wakeful and active solidarity.

The event is a true cross-section of the Stanford population, an incredible showcase of energy, unity, creativity, philanthropy, and diversity. It is home to everything from crazy themes and corresponding costumes to student performances to educational displays, keeping Dancers entertained and inspired for the full 24 hours.
