About HuskyTHON:
HuskyTHON is a year-long philanthropic effort at the University of Connecticut to raise funds and awareness for Connecticut Children’s, a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital. This effort culminates in an 18-hour dance marathon, where thousands of UConn students come together to dance for those who can’t. HuskyTHON is entirely student-run and our Management Team of 30 undergraduate student leaders is working tirelessly to make HuskyTHON 2023 better than ever before.
HuskyTHON is one of the top 10 dance marathons in the country and is the largest Children’s Miracle Network Dance Marathon in the Northeast. Over the past 23 years, HuskyTHON has raised over $10M, making it the largest fundraiser for Connecticut Children’s. HuskyTHON 2022 raised $1,340,670.68, and we are looking forward to increasing our impact!
