RILEY DANCE MARATHON
FCHS Riley Dance Marathon is March 21st, which is SATURDAY and registrations are underway.
Students can receive or turn in their registration packet during lunches on Fridays, and every
day from Monday, March 2nd - Wednesday, March 11th. After March 11th, students can still
register for the marathon, but t-shirt orders will be closed.
For those of you unfamiliar with Dance Marathon, it is a 7-hour long party to raise money for
Riley Children's Hospital. Attendees collect donations for Riley prior to the marathon, and
spend the 7 hours at the marathon celebrating Riley, playing on inflatables, eating all-you-can
eat, meeting Riley families, and partying together.
In the past four years FCHS Dance Marathon has raised over $95,000 for Riley Children's
Hospital and our goal this year is $40,000. We can only reach this goal by FCHS students
registering, fundraising, and attending, so REGISTER and be a part of something AWESOME!
FCDM - it's FTK (for the kids!)
