Mt. Pleasant’s Paige Stater helps at UI Dance Marathon
Paige Stater of Mt. Pleasant was one of more than 500 current University of Iowa students who participated in the 29th annual student-led Dance Marathon, which generated more than $1.1 million for the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital.
The final tally raised by the students was $1,174,778, a total which pushed the amount of support generated by Dance Marathon over the course of its 2-year history to more than $34 million.
Dance Marathon is the UI's largest student organization. It has raised more than $34 million since its first event in 1995. In addition to raising money, the event celebrates the lives of survivors and recognizes those lost.
