UGA Miracle raises $1.2M for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta

On Saturday, UGA Miracle announced it had raised $1,201,133.25 for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at its annual Dance Marathon. More than 2,000 students, faculty, staff and community members gathered in Stegeman Coliseum to celebrate one of the University of Georgia’s largest student-run organizations and its 30th year on campus.

This milestone was marked by several changes to this year’s program — the largest being the move in venue from the Tate Student Center to Stegeman Coliseum and shortening the event to 13 hours, a significant difference from the traditionally 24-hour overnight marathon.

“Our hope is that the shortened event will increase participation, engagement and fundraising, contributing to Miracle’s success in the future,” said program Director Stella Mele.
