Northwestern University Dance Marathon (NUDM) is one of the largest student-run philanthropies in the nation. Our mission is to unite the Northwestern, Evanston, and Greater Chicagoland community through awareness, service, education, and philanthropic fundraising. Every year, 1000+ dancers and committee members come together to create NUDM and dance for 30 hours straight to benefit NUDM’s primary and secondary beneficiaries. NUDM selects a different primary beneficiary annually, and NUDM’s long-standing secondary beneficiary is The Evanston Community Foundation.
