DemonTHON is a year-long fundraising organization, benefiting Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago that culminates in a 24-hour student-run Dance Marathon every spring. Throughout the duration of the year, DemonTHON hosts events on campus and throughout the City of Chicago that engage students at DePaul University and families that are being treated at Lurie Children’s Hospital. DemonTHON's mission is to build a year-long fundraising effort that culminates in a 24-hour Dance Marathon to honor the patients and families treated at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and to celebrate the efforts of the DePaul University students that work to support these patients and families. DemonTHON aspires to be the premiere student-run philanthropic event at DePaul University; bringing together a diverse community focused on enacting the Vincentian values found at the core of DePaul University. Our vision is guided by students, staff and community members committed to raising funds, awareness and support for children with pediatric illness.
