This past February, Auburn University Dance Marathon made history by smashing their fundraising goal and becoming the first Dance Marathon in the southeast to raise $1 million in only five years. This year, they plan on being bigger and better. On September 16th, AUDM made a huge announcement to the Auburn community. The Haley concourse was a happy scene around noon when AUDM staff members released this years goal to the Auburn student body. This year, AUDM has a goal of $500,000.

The day started out with a snapchat filter depicting covered up numbers that hinted that goal reveal would be coming soon. At noon, the filter changed to reveal the goal number. On the concourse, beautiful, silver balloons in the shapes of the numbers waved in the wind. This goal reveal was especially exciting for AUDM. After such a huge success last year, the Auburn family is ready to continue this momentum with yet another successful year for Dance Marathon. Half a million is a huge number, but this group of students is so motivated and passionate that it is attainable. All of the money raised this year will go towards Auburn's local Children's Miracle Network Hospital, Columbus Regional Health.
