DANNY HAMMOND DANCE MARATHON
Our year long efforts with Lions Philanthropy culminate into our end of the year event called DHDM - a 12 hour no sitting dance marathon held every spring in honor of Danny Hammond. On this day, students, teachers, community members, and families affected by cancer gather together at Cardinal O’Hara for a common goal; to find a cure.
During DHDM, participants can take part in various activities, watch performances, eat food, make care packages, engage in a prayer service and luminary walk, and listen to stories from families directly impacted by childhood cancer. If you are interested in becoming involved, our different ways to participate are listed below.
