The purpose of the Dance Dance Marathon is to raise awareness and financial support for the uninsured, and all donations will be given to the Saturday Free Clinic that many MCW students participate in.
- When: Nov. 1st, noon to midnight (you don't have to be there the whole time)
- Where: Radisson Hotel on North Ave. and Mayfair Rd.
- What will happen: Dancing is the main event--teams of about 6 people (formed beforehand) participate in the marathon by having at least one person from the team dancing at a time. There will also be games, Sumo wrestling, and activities to help the uninsured including signing letters to senators and House of Rep to support legislation on the uninsured, informational tables about the uninsured, Obama/McCain Health Policy info, and Medicaid and Badgercare Plus sign-ups. All music and games will be family friendly, and the event is open to the public.
- How to join: Email mcwmssa at gmail dot com. We would like to form several MSSA teams, and anyone can join. Registration is $15 per dancer, which covers the cost of a t-shirt, water bottle, meals for the day, and snacks. If you would like to dance but cannot afford to pay the $15 registration fee, still let us know and we will work something out. The planners have also set a fund-raising goal of $50 per dancer, which is why . . .
EVEN IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DANCE, PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING--ANY AMOUNT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
Some other ways you could help: sponsor another member of MSSA, offer to babysit for a couple who wants to dance, just come, etc.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
