Girl Rising Club: Dance Marathon To Raise Funds For Daraja Academy Tuition
From Alicia Tembi, Shelley Joslin, and Lindsay Zickler, Girl Rising Club Mentors: The Grauer Girl Rising Club hosted a 12-hour Dance Marathon to raise money towards funding tuition for one girl at Daraja Academy in Nanyuki, Kenya. Daraja Academy is an all-girls school that provides education to girls who would otherwise not be able to go to school. The Girl Rising Club had already raised $2,000 of their $2,500 goal earlier this year. There were over 40 students in attendance at the Dance Marathon which raised an additional $1,000, so Girl Rising reached their goal to fund one girl's tuition to Daraja!
Students danced, played musical chairs, enjoyed movies, and ate lots of snacks over the course of the 12 hours. The winners of the Dance Marathon were Inder C. '27, Evren M. '27, Thomas L. '28 and Chase M. '28. Shout-out to these middle schoolers for bringing the energy and enthusiasm! Aviya A. '24 and Sarai S. '24 spearheaded the event, decorated Meyer Hall, and ensured the event was organized and fun. Huge thanks to all of the students who attended the event to support Girl Rising and Daraja Academy!
