PrintThis weekend is the Pediatric AIDS Coalition at UCLA's dance marathon, an event to raise money for four pediatric AIDS groups:
Our proceeds benefit four organizations: the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, the largest pediatric AIDS foundation across the globe; Project Kindle and One Heartland, two free summer camp programs that provide HIV-affected children with the experience of a lifetime; and the UCLA AIDS Institute, an organization in UCLA’s own backyard dedicated to the eradication of HIV and AIDS.
Last year the dance marathon raised $410,000. You can donate at their website. It starts tomorrow morning at 8:00 am in Ackerman Grand Ballroom and goes for 26 hours straight!

Unforgettable experience!
I think the amount raised was 450,000 or somewhere in there. I’ve never done something so tiring and yet so worthwhile. It was absolutely incredible.
No sitting either!

The PAC-UCLA tweeted afterwards that since the marathon began 11 years ago, they’ve raised $3,000,000.
