The Dance Marathon Alumni Group (DMAG)

Since 1994, the University of Iowa Dance Marathon has provided emotional and financial support for children (and their families) with cancer. Your relationship with Dance Marathon extends far beyond your graduation from the University of Iowa, and Dance Marathon Alumni Group (DMAG) is here to help you continue your connection to a worthwhile cause.

Thanks to all DM alumni who have attended recent DMAG events. Your continued support is appreciated!

From the Executive Director...

I look forward to seeing you all at the BIG EVENT February 3-4! If there's anything I can do to make your visit more meaningful, please let me know. Following a very successful recruitment period, we anticipate another stellar event. Already, we have more than 2,300 dancers on board—a new record! For ongoing details and to register, visit www.dancemarathon.org.

In other news, close to 1,000 Dance Marathon supporters cheered the Iowa men's basketball team to its first season victory at the November 11 home-opener. In their lime green T-shirts, DM participants led basketball players out of the tunnel and kept the energy alive in the student section. As a result, several games at Carver-Hawkeye Arena have been designated "Dance Marathon Nights." Dance Marathon and the UI Athletic Department have forged a strong relationship that will continue to grow for years to come!.

Alumni participation is crucial to the work of Dance Marathon. I encourage you to get involved with the alumni group by hosting events and fundraisers wherever you live to build bridges between alumni and DM. Thank you for your continued support!

As Always, FTK!
