Meet the Miracle Kids

The Miracle Kids and Families are supported by Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital and play a big role in our marathon!

Over 20 amazing children and families represent the heart and soul of Dance Marathon at Hope College. They are the face of the hospital for the hundreds of Hope students who participate in the marathon each year. They’re present throughout the year at Hope College homecoming festivities, basketball games, Dance Marathon fundraisers and Dance Marathon itself. Hope students and organizations form lasting bonds with these families — supporting them, learning from them and celebrating with them.
