About & History
Hartford Memorial Marathon Dance
A 12-hour charity dance fundraiser. This dance marathon is intended to not only raise money for a local charity (determined by student council) but also build community throughout the school, connect the school to the larger community, and create a sense of belonging for the students of our community.
This year's dance will be on Friday, March 20th, 2026 from 7:00pm to 9:00am Saturday at Hartford Memorial Middle School, 245 Highland Avenue, Hartford, VT.
