Bulls for Kids is one of the biggest organizations here at the University of South Florida. The goal of this organization is to raise money for Shriners Hospitals for Children, which is located right on campus. Shriners is known for helping children with disabilities as well as burn victims. In order to raise awareness for all the work Shriners has been doing, Bulls for Kids hosts a 12 hour Dance Marathon every year in March. This year, the proceeds raised will benefit a funding for a motion analysis lab.

This motion analysis lab will help doctors analyze patients’ movements and accurately rehabilitate or diagnose their conditions. Last year, Bulls for Kids raised over $175,000 thanks to the committee, executive board, and dancers that attended the event.
