HuskyTHON is a year-long philanthropic effort at the University of Connecticut to raise funds and awareness for Connecticut Children’s, a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital. This effort culminates in an 18-hour dance marathon, where thousands of UConn students come together to dance for those who can’t. HuskyTHON is entirely student-run, led by our Management Team of 32 undergraduate student leaders who work tirelessly to make HuskyTHON better than the year before.

HuskyTHON is one of the top 10 dance marathons in the country and is the largest Children’s Miracle Network Dance Marathon in the Northeast. Over the past 26 years, HuskyTHON has raised over $15M, making it the largest third-party fundraiser for Connecticut Children’s. In 2026, it is our goal to make HuskyTHON the event those amazing patient families deserve.

An important aspect of HuksyTHON is the individual fundraising, which is encouraged through incentives from companies like you !
