Brookfield High School to Host 3rd Annual Dance Marathon

First a little background…

In the spring of 2014 Brookfield High School took on the challenge to join many high schools across the nation in a fight against pediatric cancer. To do this we joined with Four Diamonds Fund to host a MiniThon event, a continuous 12-hour dance marathon. MiniThon’s are small community hosted events modeled after PennSate’s THON. (For more information about THON click > here <) That first year our community raised over $8,000 to donate to the Four Diamonds Fund. A foundation that’s mission “is to conquer childhood cancer by assisting children treated at Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital and their families through superior care, comprehensive support, and innovative research” (pennstatehershey.org).

However, last year and this coming year the BHS Dance Marathon team, a group of passionate students, has decided to focus more locally; to support families and children affected with pediatric cancer in Connecticut and surrounding areas. No longer a part of the Four Diamonds Fund we now donate our proceeds to Connecticut Children’s Medical Center and are named BHS Dance Marathon. In 2015, we raise over $10,000 for the oncology department there.

This spring on May 14th 2016, Brookfield High School will be hosting it’s 3rd annual Dance Marathon in support of pediatric cancer. Our donations raised this spring will go to The Connecticut Children's Medical Center.

So come join us, for a day of dancing, fun, games, and a good cause. Our itinerary this year includes, VGroove, Zumba, a silent disco, raffles, bouncy houses, arts and crafts and much more!

Everyone is welcome to come during the dance hours, through general admission, or create a dance team to stay for the entire 12-hours. This team can be up to ten members! To get more information about the date, time, and how to make a team you can visit and like our Facebook page, BHS Dance Marathon.
