The South High Marathon Dance is a student driven event that raises money for individuals, families, and organizations in need of financial assistance,” says the school, noting that approximately 80% of the high school population participates.
“…This event has grown into a celebration that brings the entire community together like nothing else, with activities taking place year-round.”
In its 45-year history, organizers say the Marathon Dance has raised over $9.9 million for more than 619 beneficiaries — “not just within South Glens Falls, but many surrounding communities as well.”
They’re not saying it aloud themselves, but the dance is poised to cross the $10 million threshold this year.
Last year’s Marathon Dance raised $515,440. It was the second year that The Great Escape theme park hosted the dance, outdoors. Family and community members could not attend, due to Covid restrictions.
