On Saturday November 9th, Canada experienced its first ever Dance Marathon, hosted by Catholic Central High School in London, Ontario. Our London Champion, Eli, wouldn't miss the opportunity to come out and show off his amazing dance moves, and he sure came out blazing in front of over 100 students! The students were able to hear Eli's story from his parents and even dedicated their "morale dance" of that hour to the Khan family to celebrate their journey at Children's in London. Over $18,000 was raised at the first annual Crusaderthon!

Dance Marathon is a movement of hundreds of high schools and post-secondary schools all raising money For The Kids in their local communities, by joining together for a length of time and dancing to make a difference. CCHS was the first school in Canada to host this inspiring event, with our next event taking place at Simon Fraser University in February 2014.
