Quinnipiac Students "Light the Way" Raising $257,978 for Connecticut Children's

Last year, QTHON raised $180,063 in support of Connecticut Children’s Foundation. These funds touch every corner of Connecticut Children’s, the only health system in Connecticut 100% dedicated to kids, ensuring every child receives care, regardless of their family’s ability to pay.

 

At QTHON 2026, the energy never stopped. Dancers and team members kept moving throughout the day, celebrating the courage and resilience of Connecticut Children’s patients. Attendees heard directly from Miracle Children—patient ambassadors representing the impact of Dance Marathon fundraising—as they shared their personal journeys, demonstrating how every step, every cheer, and every donation helps light the way for families in need. With interactive games, friendly team challenges, and nonstop celebration, there was something for everyone—whether dancing, cheering, or simply soaking in the excitement. And let’s not forget about the fundraising!
