Knight-Thon

Knight-Thon, Dance Marathon at the University of Central Florida, is part of the national Miracle Network Dance Marathon movement. Knight-Thon is UCF’s largest student-driven philanthropy, raising funds and awareness for Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children. Our year-long efforts conclude each spring with a Dance Marathon where more than 1,500 UCF Knights come together to celebrate their efforts made for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. In the past 26 years, we have raised over $8 million for the children at Orlando Health Arnold Palmer. Every cent raised goes toward bettering our hospital through advanced medical treatments, thorough care and research, and everyday items that make patients feel more comfortable. We strive to live by the words and legacy of the late Arnold Palmer, who said: “We can do better, and we should do better for the children of our community.”
