Oklahoma State University held it’s first annual Dance Marathon Saturday from 2:00 to midnight!  The event raised over 37,500 for Children’s Miracle Network kids in Oklahoma.  The event was a 10 hour dance-a-thon with themed dance hours, games, a silent auction, dance competitions, a date auction and photo booth.  Campus celebrities, such as President Hargis and First Lady, Ann Hargis, as well as Justin Blackmon and Miss OSU, Aly Akers, all attended the event.
