Hey there!

Welcome to our Dance Marathon team fundraising page!

The Collegiate Commons is a student-led news publication covering Central Indiana with a special mission related to the Pelican in our logo.

The pelican has traditionally been a symbol associated with self-sacrifice, as the pelican was once believed to pierce its own breast with its beak and feed its young with its blood. The symbol represents our belief in the common good and finding a purpose in seeking it. 

We are a non-sectarian, non-partisan paper, but we recognize the special role that Christian thought played in developing the values we hold dear, especially Christian Democracy, subsidiarity, and the whole life ethic. 

Those are a lot of big words, but they really just mean we emphasize the importance of human dignity at all stages of life, the value of communities, families, labor, and local decision making, and the importance of religious faith and freedom for the health of a community. 

Our team is participating in Dance Marathon where we join together to raise funds for Riley Hospital for Children, which provides critical life-saving treatments and healthcare services for children and their families, because that’s exactly what communities should do - lift each other up, because every life matters. We hope you’ll join us.

Together we can change kids' health and change the future - we need your help! 

Your donation is tax-deductible and will make miracles happen for families who desperately need them. You can click the "donate" button at the top of this page to make a safe and easy online donation.
