Jagathon

Our purpose and impact

Jagathon, IU Indianapolis' 10-hour dance marathon, supports all kids treated at Riley Hospital for Children. Every spring, the university hosts this student-led event to raise both funds and awareness for pediatric research.

Thanks to the passion and dedication of our students, Jagathon continues to help children with life-threatening illnesses by raising money 365 days a year leading up to the dance marathon. These donations provide financial and emotional support to hundreds of families across Indiana through the Herman B. Wells Center for Pediatric Research.

Over the last 24 years, Jagathon has raised over $3,830,086 for the kids.

Make a difference

From participating in our dance marathon to fundraising to taking a leading role on our Committee, there are so many ways to be a part of something bigger for Riley Hospital for Children.
