“I suppose the fundamental question we should be asking is, would this $12.4M be available to the families of children with pediatric cancer if not for the collective effort of these students?”

Hey, I think raising money to help families is great. Not sure what dancing has to do with it, since the money is raised before the dance - at least around my parts.

Still, my original comment was the pediatric cancer is not cured. If it were, we wouldn’t still be raising money to cure it.

Carry on. Go Blue.

Donations up until noon today went towards the 2013 total. Also, if you'd take the time or consideration to view any of the THON videos - especially the documentary Why We Dance - The Story of THON, you'd realize that the Dance Marathon itself is billed as a "Party - a Celebration of Life".
