Dance Marathon

OAHS National Honor Society supports Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in the fight against pediatric cancer! 

NHS is set to host its third annual Dance Marathon to benefit Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania on April 26, 2024.  In our first two hosting this event, we more than doubled our goal by raising nearly $11,000, which goes directly to CHOP cancer treatment and research programs to make a difference in the lives of local children. This year, we hope to raise a minimum of 12,000 for CHOP. 

Dance Marathon student fundraisers pledge to stay on their feet for a full 5 hours, from 4 pm to 9 pm to raise money, honor, support, and celebrate the patients and families being treated at CHOP. Participants stay entertained through dancing, games, and music, and the event finishes with a big “reveal” of the total amount raised. We thank our student fundraisers, faculty advisors and staff supporters, parents, community donors and business sponsors for supporting this worthy cause.
