North High School Student Council students raised $15,054 through their annual Dance Marathon in support of UnityPoint Health - St. Luke’s Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) on Friday, April 14.

Students raised donations through sponsorships, product fundraising and coin competitions leading up to the event. More than 100 attendees participated in this year’s Dance Marathon event for an evening full of dancing, games and entertainment with all proceeds benefiting CMN.

“This event was entirely put on by Siouxland kids for Siouxland kids,” said Stacey Selk, director of Children’s Miracle Network at UnityPoint Health – St. Luke’s Foundation. “They brainstormed all the fundraising ideas and set a goal of raising $15,000.”

North High School Dance Marathon was supported by the following: Sunflower Boutique, Northwest Bank, Perry Way Bouquet, Midwest Mobile Glass, The Greenwell Family, Pizza Ranch, Kletschke Wealth Management Group and T’s to Pleeze.

Dance Marathon is a nationwide movement involving college and high school students at more than 250 schools across the country, all raising money for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospital in their community. Each event is entirely student-run, and 100% of the funds raised are donated directly to their local Children's Miracle Network. Students learn invaluable leadership and life skills while raising funds and interacting with children’s hospital patients and families.

Gifts to St. Luke’s Children’s Miracle Network are used to enhance children’s healthcare services at UnityPoint Health – St. Luke’s including the purchase of new equipment and supplies as well as funding special services and health education for children and families.
