It's that time of year again: time for the annual Northwestern University Dance Marathon, which this year runs from Oct.
31 to Nov.
1, reports the Chicago Sun-Times.
This year's event has a new name: the Lakeshore Shuffle.
It's a 5K run/walk that starts and ends on the lakefront, with proceeds going to two charities: the Evanston Community Foundation and Chicago HOPES for Kids.
"I did Dance Marathon last year because my friends were really big parts of it," says one junior.
"Honestly, it's the most significant experience I've had at Northwestern."
