Rutgers Dance Marathon
(RUDM)
About DM
The Rutgers University Dance Marathon is a student-run philanthropic event that unites the Rutgers community in an effort to raise money and increase awareness for Embrace Kids Foundation. It is a university-wide tradition comprised of volunteers who champion a commitment to service, leadership development and fun. It’s all FOR THE KIDS!
Meet Our Kids
The RU4Kids Program is a joint program between Embrace Kids and RUDM that connects student organizations with patient families. The goal of RU4Kids is for the college students to provide comfort, friendly faces, and fun during trying times. Students visit the children during treatment and engage them with fun activities. Additionally, students and families meet outside of treatment for parties, sporting events, and movies! The students make a family’s time through treatment much easier by being a fun escape during a difficult journey. This program cultivates friendships and a priceless bond between the students and families.
