The first Dance Marathon of the 2011 season is in the books, and it was a memorable one. More than 170 student-dancers at Columbia University spent 18 hours dancing and raised nearly $50,000 to help support the Foundation's mission to eliminate pediatric AIDS.
In its 11th year, the Columbia University Dance Marathon and its supporters have raised more than $500,000 for the Foundation. This year's contribution could help more than 3,330 HIV-positive women around the world deliver health babies.
