Every day. every dollar. every dance.

FDM 2025 Date: APRIL 11TH

Fordham Dance Marathon (FDM) is a year-long, campus-wide effort to help end pediatric cancer and bring joy to the lives of B+ Heroes and their families all while raising funds and awareness for childhood cancer.

why we dance

• Every school day, 46 children are diagnosed with pediatric cancer.

• Less than 4% of federal cancer research funding is dedicated to childhood cancer research.

• 49 children will die this week from cancer.

We dance so these numbers change!

Fordham Dance Marathon raises awareness for The Andrew McDonough B+ ("Be Positive") Foundation, an organization of kids helping kids fight cancer. The B+ Foundation builds a community of emotional support for B+ Heroes and their families. The organization funds childhood cancer research initiatives to help find a cure. In 2022, The B+ Foundation named a research grant in Fordham's honor! Fordham has raised $928,863 for The B+ Foundation over the last 11 years.

As we venture into our 12th year, we have set our goals high to make a difference in the lives of our B+ Heroes and all children and families affected by pediatric cancer.
