It\u2019s the biggest student-run fundraising event at UCF, and this year is bigger than ever, with a bigger venue at the CFE Arena and a bigger goal of raising $500,000.<\/p>\n<p>The money collected is split between two Greater Orlando Children\u2019s Miracle Network Hospitals: Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and UF Health Shands Children\u2019s Hospital. Together, those hospitals treat more than 250,000 children a year for ailments like cancer, AIDS, birth defects, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, kidney and heart disease, in addition to accident victims and those in need of organ transplants.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s with those \u201cMiracle Children\u201d that Hixon, Knight-Thon\u2019s event operations director, feels a special connection.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can relate to them on a different level. I\u2019ve been there \u2013 I\u2019ve lived in a hospital, I know what it\u2019s like,\u201d he said. \u201cThere were times I was very scared, but because of the caring doctors and all the people by my side, I never felt alone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Knight-Thon culminates nearly a year of smaller events and fund-raising by Greek organizations, clubs, offices and departments. More than 1,000 Knights from more than 70 organizations are expected to participate at the dance marathon.<\/p>\n<p>It is Knight-Thon\u2019s 19th year, and it\u2019s grown rapidly over the past several years. In 2011, the event raised $84,640. In 2012, it climbed to $118,972. In 2013, it more than doubled to $258,554, and last year saw another big jump: $392,831.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were extremely ambitious with this goal, but I have a lot of confidence in the UCF student body,\u201d student director Drew Strochak said. \u201cThe amazing thing about Children&#8217;s Miracle Network is that most of the money is raised $1 at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a long time to remain standing, but participants will get inspiration from Miracle Children and their families who will take the stage to share their personal stories.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou realize that although your feet may hurt, it\u2019s nothing compared to what these kids go through every single day,\u201d Hixon said.<\/p>\n<p>(And if they raise enough money, participants can earn perks like a pass to sit down for five minutes, a massage or even a shower.)<\/p>\n<p>Hixon knows the money raised will lead to new treatments, and hopefully, cures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUntil that time comes,\u201d he said, \u201cwe\u2019re going to keep dancing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Knight-Thon starts at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 28, and ends at 8 a.m. the next day, at CFE Arena.
