The second of its kind in Canada and the first ever held in a university, The SFU Dance Marathon 2014 invites all walks of life, students and the public to spend a day (6 hours to be exact) dancing for the children of the BC Children’s Hospital! In support of the Children’s Miracle Network and the BC Children’s Hospital, this event is catered for individuals to have fun while giving back.

At the event, you will find great music ranging from all genres including Top 40s, 90s, Bhangra and more. To top that off, performances, talks and time to spend with some of the child patients and families who will be sharing inspirational stories will be something to look forward to.

All proceeds go towards funding new research , educational programs and upgrading care facilities in the hospital.
