As a genocide-prevention group on campus, one of our pillars of activism is education. We would like to take the Dance-A-Thon as an opportunity to educate and raise awareness about genocide and conflict. Each of these events is an opportunity to learn.Attending any event will grant you a raffle ticket that can be redeemed during the Dance-A-Thon for a chance to win a prize or, if you are a dance participant, 15 minute break for your entire team!
