IU Dance Marathon

1. Where does my donation go?

100% of all of the money raised goes directly to the Ryan White Infectious Disease Center at Riley Children's Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana. The money directly supports the Center through the employment of doctors and interns as well as the addition of the latest medical equipment and supplies.

By donating to the Ryan White Infectious Disease Center, you are directly supporting those children who need help the most. Riley Children's Hospital has a policy to never turn away a child who needs attention. Your donations enable that to happen.
