Welcome to Dance Marathon at American University!Congratulations - We raised $20,000 in support of eradicating pediatric AIDS! |
 |
American University Dance Marathon is a student-run, fundraising event that seeks to unite our campus around a common cause: the worldwide fight against pediatric AIDS.
Last year, AUDM raised an amazing $20,000 for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, blowing our goal of $15,000 out of the water. Next year's marathon will be an even greater success, with more hours, more campus involvement, and more dollars raised for kids fighting HIV/AIDS.
The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation seeks to prevent pediatric HIV infection and to eradicate pediatric AIDS through research, advocacy, and prevention and treatment programs. There are an estimated 40,000 new HIV infections in the United States each year, the majority of them in people under the age of 25. In Washington, DC, the rate of infection is staggeringly high. About 1 in 20 Washingtonians are HIV positive. Globally, approximately 39.5 million people are infected with HIV and 2.3 million of those are children. AUDM is dedicated to bringing dramatic changes to the lives of children worldwide in the fight against pediatric AIDS, because every child deserves a lifetime. |
