Our Mission
Chiles Dance Marathon is a student-run organization that works closely with Children's Miracle Network and Florida State University to raise funds for the children and families at Shands Children's Hospital. This organization works to create a family on our campus to fight for one cause, we fight for the future. We have worked to help countless miracle families in their journey's at Shands Hospital. The family created on our campus brings together students from all ages to create something truly amazing. During the year, we come up with countless fun events and fundraising opportunities to raise funds for our cause. With each new donation one more medical procedure, NICU bed, and emergency treatment can be provided to help kids entering an environment they know nothing about. With your help we hope to provide comfort to a family during their time of need.
Events through the year
Marathon!
@Chiles High School
This six hour event is a life-changing time where students can enjoy food, games, and stories from miracle families all while continuing to fundraise for our cause! The night ends with a heartfelt reveal of our fundraising total of the entire year!
Deerlake Dance Marathon!
@Deerlake Middle School
Deerlake dance marathon is a 2 hour compact event that helps raise money for the Children's Miracle Network. Deerlake works closely with Chiles to help create miracles. This event is intended to be a "mini" version of our big marathon to get middle schoolers involved in an organization they will see in their high schools.
Statement Day!
@Chiles High School
Statement day is a 26.2 hour fundraising push in which we encourage our participants to fundraise the most with fun challenges and opportunities throughout the push. This is the biggest fundraising opportunity of the year other than our marathon and creates a huge impact on our year long initiative.
Night Of Miracles!
@Northside Community Center
This event was created to honor our donors, sponsors, and all the people who have helped us create such a successful year. Members of our community come together for a dinner and an auction of a range of types of baskets. This is a great way we get our cause out there in our amazing community!
Car Wash!
@Smitty's
Our annual car wash event was created to be a fun way we fundraise while giving back to our community!
