The 2022 Black BearTHON, the University of Maine’s annual charity dance-a-thon, will take place April 29 from 8 p.m.–midnight in the New Balance Student Recreation Center.
Black BearTHON is a student-led organization that raises funds and awareness throughout the year for sick and injured kids treated at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center, a member of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Students and organizations join the campuswide movement by registering and creating fundraising pages, participating in events on campus, and asking friends and family members for donations. Each year, the organization’s activities culminate with the annual dance-a-thon, an event where students will dance, connect with and honor patient families, play games, enjoy entertainment and fundraise.
Student teams can register online. For more information, contact Alexa Jarvis at alexa.jarvis@maine.edu.
