About
Elonthon is Elon University’s Children’s Miracle Network Dance Marathon. Throughout the year, Elonthon raises funds and awareness for Duke Children’s Hospital, culminating with a dance marathon for 13.1 hours in the spring. Elonthon promotes childhood health, as well as the potential the Elonthon community has to support the patients and families at Duke Children’s Hospital by providing resources for patient care and hospital programs. Our slogan is "For The Kids" as all of our actions are in support of our miracle children. Throughout the event, we dance, play games, watch performers, listen to the inspiring stories of our miracle children, fundraise, and most importantly we never sit down. Elonthon is a part of a much larger Dance Marathon movement sweeping the nation at over 220 other colleges and universities. We are thrilled to be a part of such an amazing community as the 22nd largest dance marathon in the country! Tomorrow is uncertain, so join the movement today. Always FTK!
