Like you, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals is faced with making difficult decisions during this COVID-19 crisis. To ensure the health and safety of our supporters, we have decided to not hold the Dance Marathon Leadership Conference event, scheduled for July 9-12, 2020 in Atlanta. While we are hopeful communities will begin to recover over the next few months, we want to be mindful of difficult decisions you need to make now regarding safety and budgets.

Recognizing the importance of connecting and celebrating the amazing work of our most passionate Miracle Network Dance Marathon supporters, we will be hosting the Conference virtually during the same week. We are excited to share more details with you soon.

We look forward to hosting you virtually in July. Stay safe and healthy.
