Dance Marathon Coordinator

"Dance Marathon means helping others.  It means giving back to something that has a special place in my heart.  It is fun and exciting and a lot of work but everything is all worth it to help those in need."

Family Relations
Misty Kelley

"Having such a personal connection with the Children's Medical Center makes me want to work even harder to ensure that Dance Marathon is a success and that the people in our community can become even more aware of the amazing miracles that occur within the walls of the Children's Medical Center."

Rules, Regulations, Operations

"Dance Marathon means a lot to me.  Knowing that sick children at MCG will receive this money makes it worth while. One has to prepare themselves emotionally and mentally.  It surprised me that I felt the way I did after it.  I felt like I really did something good."

Rusty Caldwell

"I honestly did not understand the process of Dance Marathon until the slideshow at the very end of the session.  I knew raising money was important but until I saw the children's faces on the screen, I really had no clue how important the work that we were doing was.  I guess knowing one of the kids whose name was mentioned in the presentation really hit home and I could only feel sympathetic towards those kids and their families and then and there is where I decided I couldn't wait to do this again.  I was exhausted on my way back home, but I knew what we had done was very generous."

Marketing
Jasmine Pinckney

"Dance Marathon means staying on my feet for many hours to save and provide cures and medicine for children.  I am making a difference and putting my selfishness outside for 16 hours, although I know that my legs and feet are going to be in pain later.  I get joy out of who is going to benefit because the children are going to have a chance to live longer and have a healthier and productive life with what I am doing."

Special Events
Haley Culp - Chair
haculp@usca.edu
"Dance Marathon means being selfless.  Towards the end of the night (or beginning of the day, rather), as my feet became swollen and heavy, my eyes barely stayed open, and my mind was going delirious, I kept on going because the pain I felt was nothing compared to what these children have been through.  Dance Marathon is also about setting an example.  Last of all, this is for such a good cause and there are so many opportunities to make this an even greater part of student life at USCA in the coming years."

Kelli Walker - Co-chair

"To me the Dance Marathon is a way to show the school, community, and the children of MCG that we care and want to help the MCG Children.  I want to make them feel special and I believe this shows it.  I was amazed with the Dance Marathon held this past year."

Programming
Floyd White
fewhite@usca.edu 
"Dance Marathon to me, means a time for different groups and organizations on campus to come together for one cause.  In that process you are meeting several other people who may not even be part of an organization.  In more ways than one it's a great opportunity to show school spirit and acknowledge folks you would not see on a regular basis."

 

Historian
Patrice Wright
spwright@usca.edu
"Dance Marathon means much more to me now since I participated.  It means doing all we can to save at least one child from illness and celebrating the children who have gotten better or on the way to recovery."

Morale
Chantay Ravenell
caravenell@usca.edu
"Dance Marathon means allowing someone the same opportunity to life as I was given."

 

Advisor
Angel Lee

"Dance Marathon is about putting yourself aside for a few hours to make a difference in someone else's life.  Not only are we making a difference in the lives of the children at the Children's Medical Center at MCG, but we have a blast while doing it.  The feeling you get at the end of the 16 hours when you realize how much of a difference you've made in such a short amount of time is incomparable to anything else you'll ever feel."
