Founded on the Florida Atlantic University’s campus, OwlThon is entering its 3rd year of raising funds for Shands Children’s Hospital. Since its establishment in 2014, 100% of OwlThon’s proceeds have directly benefitted the children at Shands Children’s Hospital. OwlThon is a 13.1-hour marathon filled with memories, inspiration, and miracles! Over the course of the marathon, participants will stay on their feet pledging their dedication to saving the lives of children. Participants will unite with hundreds of others helping to make a difference! More than just dancing takes place at OwlThon. Participants have enjoyed live bands, magicians, sports tournaments, themed Morale hours, line dances, and guest speakers. Future entertainment for this year’s marathon will have plenty more to offer. “Miracle Children” and their families from Shands Children's Hospital, visit OwlThon each year to share their stories with our Dancers
