Taking place on March 19, 2011, at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers, the more than 13-hour dance marathon is expected to raise more than $300,000 for Children’s Memorial and Children’s Miracle Network.
Hundreds of individuals will remain on their feet for 786 minutes as a show of support for children battling life-threatening conditions. The event kicks off at 8 a.m. and concludes at 9:06 p.m. — a total of 13.1 hours to represent the length of a half marathon.
ASC Communications is donating $4,500 to the cause, and its employees plan to participate in the day-long event.
“ASC Communications is proud to sponsor Chicago Dance Marathon — the first city-wide Dance Marathon event involving local businesses and professionals in its fundraising efforts. Our donation shows our support not only for the event and for Children’s Memorial, but for the more than 140,000 brave children who are treated at Children’s each year,” says Jessica Cole, president and CEO of ASC Communications, and president of the Chicago Dance Marathon Board.
