HuskyTHON 2010 took place from 6pm Saturday February 20 to 12pm Sunday February 21. This year the 18-hour dance marathon raised $150,228 for Connecticut Children’s Medical Center! This is more than has ever been raised at HuskyTHON before! Since the first dance marathon for Connecticut Children’s Medical Center in 1999, the event has
raised over $440,000 for Children’s Miracle Network and CCMC. Twenty-six families of CCMC came to HuskyTHON and dancer and volunteers got the chance to interact and play with the children that all of the money raised benefits. There were inflatable games, food, music and dancing all night. There was a dollar raffle throughout the night with a variety
of donated prizes as well as numerous other fundraisers which raised money for the cause. Everyone’s hard work definitely paid off. This year, HuskyTHON raised 39% more than the grand total of $107,539 of 2009. Everyone should be extremely proud of their hard work, fundraising and dedication for the kids at CCMC!
