Combining singing, dancing, and fundraising, SU's 12-hour dance marathon OttoTHON proved to be a success for the kids of Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital.

Dressed in neon, tutus, and fanny packs, people packed into Syracuse University's Women's Building to participate in the university's first ever dance marathon, OttoTHON.

Beginning at Penn State University as a fundraiser event years ago, dance marathons have gradually become national events.
