DemonTHON hosts events on campus and throughout the City of Chicago that engage students at DePaul University and families that are being treated at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. Attending any of our events is the easiest way to get involved, meet new people, and have fun! If you have any questions about any of our events, email our Special Events Director at demonthon.specialevents@gmail.com.
The Big Event is a 24-hour celebration of the tremendous fundraising efforts of DePaul students and an amazing opportunity for all to connect with Miracle Families from the Chicagoland area that are being treated at Lurie Children’s Hospital. During the Big Event dancers commit to standing for the full 24-hour duration of the event, dancing every hour on the hour. Dancers stand to be in solidarity with kids and families who battle pediatric illness every day. The Big Event is not only a celebration of the dancers, but more importantly, the strength and courage of families from Lurie Children's.
