On March 5-7 of 2021, Florida State University’s Dance Marathon held a weekend-long fundraising function which raised $1.47 million. Dance Marathon was held at the IM Field at Florida State and was both in-person and virtual this year.
Miranda Torres, the public relations head for Dance Marathon at Florida State, gave her insight on the event, stating the success, logistics of the Dance Marathon, and challenges of hosting the event in the wake of a global pandemic.
“The 2021 Dance Marathon was everything we hoped for and more,” Torres said. Due to COVID-19, this was the first year that the event was both in-person and virtual, and we were not sure how the event was going to turn out. However, we were able to create a successful fundraiser, both on Zoom and in person with a drive-in option.”
