Boston University Dance Marathon 2009 Boston, Massacusetts, 3/28/2009 — 3/29/2009

Description:
For the past seven years, Boston University’s Dance Marathon (BUDM) has been the largest annual fund raiser at the school. This year’s 18-hour event will run from 3:00 p.m. on March 28 until 9:00 a.m. on March 29.

BUDM seeks to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS and how university students, faculty, alumni, and the community at large can help stop the spread of the disease and fund HIV/AIDS research efforts. BUDM began in 2003 as a collaborative effort of four different organizations — the Inter Fraternity-Sorority Council/Pan-Hellenic Council, the Boston University Student Union, Students for Camp Heartland, and BUnited. Since then, BUDM has raised more than $280,000 for the Foundation’s lifesaving programs.
