Johnson helps lead Dance Marathon to $1.4 million of support
for University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital

Elizabeth Johnson, of Deerfield, was one of more than 1,400 current University of Iowa students who participated in the 27th annual student-led Dance Marathon which raised more than $1.4 million for the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital and one of just 275 Iowa students who held leadership positions with the organization.
Johnson served as a Leadership/Family Representative Co-Chair during the current academic year. The final tally raised by the students — who were inspired by the theme of this year's Dance Marathon: "Rise with Resilience" — was $1,422,443.27, a total which pushed the amount of support generated by Dance Marathon over the course of its history to more than $31 million.
