In Naz-A-Thon 2025, we raised $172,603.47 for Children's Hospital of Philadelphia! If you attended Naz-A-Thon, donated to us, or attended a fundraiser then this could not have been done without you. We can not thank you enough! This year we donated to the Child Life Department, the Genetics Program, and the Department of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. The Naz-A-Thon Committee is already looking forward to Naz-A-Thon 2026 and we hope you are too! Always 4 the Kids<3

OUR PURPOSE

Here at Naz-A-Thon, we are driven by a single goal: to raise awareness and funds for Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

We work year-round organizing events and fundraisers, all leading up to our annual 12 hour dance marathon. We dance in support and memory of those who can't. We dance so that one day, they may be able to dance with us. We dance to create miracles and save lives. Most importantly, we dance 4 the Kids!

Please note that $10,000 of total proceeds raised will be contributed to the Nazareth Academy High School Student Emergency Fund to support existing students.​
