The University of Iowa Dance Marathon’s efforts paid off in a big way this year.

The Daily Iowan reports after 24 consecutive hours of dancing, reverberating music, flashing iridescent lights, and fundraising in the Iowa Memorial Union ballroom, University of Iowa Dance Marathon secured $1,558,324 for the Stead Family Children’s Hospital to support their fight against pediatric cancer.

The amount was over $100,000 more than last year’s total.

It was the 31st “Big Event,” earning a combined $37.5 million for the children’s hospital.
