Indiana University Dance Marathon (IUDM) is an organization comprised of over 1,000 student volunteers who raise money year round for the Ryan White Infectious Disease Center at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. The year ends in November with a 36 hour dance marathon where students gather to dance and stand for those children who cannot. Started in 1991 to commemorate the courageous efforts of Ryan White, IUDM has raised over five million dollars for the Ryan White Infectious Disease Center.
