Dear Friends, 

For the past 6 years, Franklin Towne Charter High School has hosted a Dance Marathon Fundraiser to raise money for the students in their families in our community. 

This year, along with giving back to the families in our community, we are raising money for the patients supported by the research and care at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Why will I dance for CHOP?  We all have our own reasons we dance for CHOP. I dance for my sister Michelle who was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at age 12. Her body does not produce insulin like ours, therefore she has to inject it into her body at least 4 times a day. Therefore, She spent her teenage years trying to make sure her blood sugar levels were right, while the doctors were trying to figure out the easiest way for her to still get an education just like the "normal kids" did. I dance for the countless hours she would have to spend in a hospital bed while I was comfortably in mine. If it wasn't for CHOP and their spectacular treatments and endless studies, my sister would have never been able to treat her condition the way she does now.

WHY US: 

Our dance marathon lasts for 12 HOURS and we are dancing for the kids who are being treated at CHOP. CHOP is working every day to make breakthroughs possible for all children. Philanthropic gifts are vital to this research and with your help we can transform the patient-family experience, forge new discoveries, bolster training and education programs, advocate for children in under served communities, and quickly respond to new opportunities

WHY HERE: 

CHOP is North America’s first pediatric hospital, and one of the best in the world, only CHOP can assemble the best talent and deepest resources, the widest range of research and clinical care, and the most robust tools to accelerate the prevention and cure of illnesses that keep kids from being kids.

WHY NOW: 

Now is the time to ensure that CHOP has the resources to keep creating the firsts in pediatric medicine for which we are world-renowned. We must set the standard of care for others to follow across the nation and around the world, and we must never stop pushing those standards ever higher.
