Dance Big Red
March 20, 2020

They took their moves digital and hosted a virtual event on March 20. Thanks to your support, the sixth annual Dance Big Red student-led fundraising event raised more than $34,500. When added to their past support, Dance Big Red has raised more than $280,000 for Norton Children’s Hospital!
