This year’s Dakotathon, an annual fundraiser at USD, will be held virtually because of COVID-19 restrictions. However, this hasn’t stopped students from choosing to participate.
Junior medical biology major Leah Drengenberg said she had never heard of Dakotathon until the end of her freshman year, but had heard of dance marathons. Drengenberg said she was sitting in class when people came in to talk about the Dakotathon and she decided to join with her friend. That year she raised around $200 and decided to keep doing it.
“We just raise money all year long up to the day of the dance marathon which is in April,” Drengenberg said. “Then everything goes to the Sanford Children’s Hospital in Sioux Falls.”
