OUR STORY<\/span><\/h3>
Dance Marathon at Youngstown State University will hold its tenth annual event in Spring 2026, where students stay on their feet to raise money and awareness for our local children’s hospital. Guinathon is a yearlong movement dedicated to saving young lives. Youngstown State University’s Dance Marathon is an event where YSU students and Youngstown community members come together and leave all their differences at the door in order to unite for one cause: the kids. Together, we support Akron Children’s Hospital Mahoning Valley and Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals by standing for those who can’t and giving a voice to sick children who might not otherwise have an opportunity to be heard.<\/span><\/span>
