The Diabetes Dance Marathon
Welcome to the Diabetes Dance Marathon, (otherwise known as DDM), website! The BIG EVENT is a 12-hour marathon that benefits the Diabetes Research Institute, a charity only committed to finding a cure for Diabetes. The dance marathon will be entirely student-run by the DDM Club, a new organization in the Warwick Valley High School. Besides the DDM club members, all students in the Orange County area are invited to sign up today and become a Dancer. DDM club members are working hard on recruiting Dancers from neighboring high schools, so if you aren't from the Warwick Valley High School you can still become a Dancer. Who are Dancers, you ask? Professionals? Entertainers? How about a group of students between the ages of 13-18 that dedicate their night to fighting for a cause they believe in!
You can join in on the fun by becoming a Dancer, a Committee Member, or a Volunteer. This is going to be a big event, so everyone can contribute in some way. Get involved by doing something greater than yourself.
This year, the Diabetes Dance Marathon will be from 7 PM to 7 AM on Saturday, May 19th. Whether you are a local or from a surrounding area, you are welcome to attend!
