Because Every Penny Matters...

There is no such thing as a gift that is too small. Each donation makes miracles happen, whether it is $2.08 or $1002.08. The Hope College Dance Marathon has helped raised nearly $500,000 in its seven years. You can help us increase this number, and bring smiles to the face of many kids in need of critical care.

How will your money be used? 100% of your donation will go directly to fund the programs at DeVos Children's Hospital through Chilldren's Miracle Network. There are about 20 programs that are made possible every year through the generosity of the community. One such program is the Child Life Program. This program works with the kids to reduce their anxiety and equip them with coping skills through various techniques of play therapy. They also attempt to provide "normal" childhood experiences for kids who are in the hospital for prolonged stays such as birthday parties, or "beach" parties. The success and necessity of this program are evidenced by the many kids who are not afraid of going to the hospital for care.
