Founded in 2012, this annual dance marathon benefits The Valerie Fund, a local non-profit that supports children with cancer and blood disorders. Taking place on Seton Hall's South Orange campus, PirateThon is open to the entire SHU community.
PirateThon has created a legacy of service, caring and community involvement at SHU, while raising funds and awareness for the patients and families served by The Valerie Fund. SHU students have pioneered a dance marathon network and this year, marathons on behalf of The Valerie Fund have extended to Monmouth University, Seton Hall Preparatory School and the Academy of Saint Elizabeth.
The event this year is on March 21st from 12:00pm until 12:00am, and our goal is to raise $16,000.
