   IUDM 2024  

Join us in our 34th Year

One School. One Weekend. One Miracle After Another.

At IUDM, everything we do is truly to help the children at Riley Hospital for Children. As the second-largest student-run philanthropy in the world, we have raised more than $46 million for Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, IN. Since our organization’s humble beginning in 1991, we have honored Ryan White’s incredible legacy by funding the Ryan White Center for Infectious Disease at Riley Hospital. We are now excited to have the opportunity to begin funding other areas of the hospital in need of our support.

 

More than 1,200 committee members work year-round to raise money, plan events, and spread awareness of the miracles happening at Riley every single day. Our Dance Marathon takes place in November, bringing together more than 4,000 IU students willing to stay awake and stand on their feet for 36 hours, honoring the brave Riley kids who inspire us to make a difference in the world. We welcome you to join in our efforts by making a donation or registering to participate!
