About

Dance Marathon at the University of Michigan (DMUM) supports children with disabilities and illnesses and their families by raising funds and generating awareness for pediatric programs at the University of Michigan Health C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital.

Contrary to its name, DMUM is not a dance group. Throughout the year, DMUM members volunteer, fundraise, and foster relationships with pediatric patients and their families. All of the hard work and dedication culminates at DMUM’s final event of the year VictorThon where all members stand for 24 hours to show their support for children with disabilities and illnesses.

DMUM is committed to uniting the U-M campus and community to support children by encouraging, inspiring, and strengthening opportunities for physical, social, and emotional development.

Throughout DMUM’s 29 year history, the organization has raised over $6.7 million for pediatric therapies.

About our Organization
Dance Marathon at the University of Michigan (DMUM) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit student organization dedicated to supporting children with disabilities and illnesses, and their families, by raising funds and generating awareness for pediatric programs at the University of Michigan Health C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital. Our members are paired with these children and their families, and together participate in activities and build relationships throughout the year. Members also have the unique opportunity to volunteer at several pediatric therapies that DMUM directly funds, allowing them to see the direct impact of their fundraising and empowering them to form a deeper connection and passion for our cause. Our year-long efforts culminate with VictorThon, a 24-hour event where members stand on their feet to show their dedication to our cause. Through these initiatives, we strive to unite the University of Michigan campus and community around supporting children with disabilities by encouraging, inspiring, and strengthening opportunities for physical, social, and emotional development.
