The University of Iowa Dance Marathon - February 2012

Dance Marathon is a student-run philanthropy dedicated to supporting oncology patients being treated at The University of Iowa Children's Hospital. It is a year-round organization that culminates with a 24 hour long BIG Event in February. To date, Dance Marathon has raised over $9.8 million dollars for children being treated for cancer.

Gifts to Dance Marathon are made through The University of Iowa Foundation, a nonprofit IRC Sec. 501(c)(3) organization that is structurally separate from The University of Iowa. The University of Iowa Foundation exists solely for the UI's benefit, serving as the preferred channel for private gifts to all areas of the University.

Richard's Riders

In the United States over 1.1 million people are living with the HIV virus. In 2006 there were almost 31,000 people in Illinois living with HIV; over 50% of them with a diagnosis of AIDS. Since the beginning of the epidemic over 590,000 have died from AIDS in the United States alone.

These numbers are alarming at best. In an effort to provide support for those affected, by this often devastating disease I am taking part in an annual event called, the Ride for AIDS Chicago. The Ride for AIDS Chicago is a two-day, 200-mile charity bicycling event from Illinois to Wisconsin that helps raise money for an AIDS service organization in Chicago called Test Positive Aware Network (TPAN). TPAN's mission is to empower and support those living with HIV and AIDS through peer-led programming, support services, and information dissemination.

You too can help me in making a difference in the lives of men, women, and children who are living with and are affected by HIV and AIDS. Show your support by making a fully tax-deductible donation to my Ride for AIDS Fundraising today. Every bit helps. Together, we can make a difference.

Yours truly,
Richard Cordova
