Carolina for the Kids dances its way to fundraising record

Posted Mar 26, 2015
Months of planning, recruiting and fundraising culminated with 24 hours of standing — and $570,561 raised for N.C. Children’s Hospital. Carolina for the Kids exceeded the $550,000 mark for the second year in a row and beat the 2014 fundraising record by almost $20,000 at its 17th annual dance marathon. “It shows what people can accomplish when they all rally behind one cause,” said Evan Sherwood, executive director of Carolina for the Kids.
