UCLA Dance
Marathon 2027
"When there's a cure, we'll dance for joy. Until then, we dance for life."— The Pediatric AIDS Coalition
We're closer than ever to ending pediatric AIDS.
The Pediatric AIDS Coalition began as Dance Marathon at UCLA in 2002. Since then, we've grown from 20 committee members raising $27,000 to a committee of 150 running an event that raised almost $320,000 in a single year. Over 20+ years, PAC has raised more than $6 million for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, The Laurel Foundation, and the UCLA AIDS Institute.
Every dollar you raise funds real research, real treatment, and real hope for a future where every child grows up healthy and HIV-free.
