No matter how you decide to participate in Jagathon, your involvement will make a BIG impact. Here's how you can be part of our dance marathon this year:
1. Register for the event
Attending Jagathon is much more than standing on your feet for 11 hours. It means supporting the children treated at Riley, fighting for their health, and celebrating their successes.
#ForAllKids
- Visit the Dance Marathon site.
- Click "Register Now!"
- Choose whether you'd like to "Start a Team," "Join a Team," or register as an "Individual." You can make a team with your friends, organization, class, or school. Not sure if your group already has a team? Select "Join a Team" and then click "Search for a Team" to see a list of registered teams.
- Choose your participation type. If you're not on the Jagathon committee, select "Participant."
- Select your fundraising goal. The automatic goal for participants is $100, which is a great place to start. You can always change this goal later. Then, click "Next Step."
- If this is your first Jagathon, click "Join as a New Participant" and fill out the required information. If you've attended Jagathon (and/or high school dance marathons or any other Riley dance mararthon) before, use your previous login credentials. Then, click "Next Step."
- Congrats, you're registered! Now you can customize your fundraising page.
- Begin fundraising
While it's not required to fundraise to attend our event, we encourage and invite all of our participants to raise funds with us throughout the year, so we, as an entire campus, can give the largest gift to Riley Hospital for Children that we can!
Excited to participate, but still have some questions?
Of course! You do not have to fundraise in order to attend the event, but we encourage all participants to help us in creating the largest gift possible.
No! While Jagathon is a dance marathon, it is much more than dancing. The 11 hours are packed with games, meals, and Riley stories. Although we do dance, it is optional for you to do so.
No, it is not too late to join a team. If you want to be placed on a team or have a specific team in mind, please email Meghan Pettibone, Director of Participant Relations.
Yes, of course! You can make your check out to Riley Children's Foundation. If you are donating on behalf of a Jagathon member, please include their name in the memo line.
