In a nutshell, morale captains are the heart and soul of DemonTHON! Morale captains are responsible for keeping dancers enthusiastic throughout the entire year and during the Big Event! A morale captain is someone who is personable, outgoing, reliable, creative, energetic, and able to engage with their fellow students and families from Lurie Children’s Hospital. We hold weekly meetings for our morale captains to come together to plan the activities for the Big Event. These meetings allow morale captains to let their creativity shine, while reminding one another that all our work is solely for the kids!
Joining dance marathon as a morale captain presents so many exciting opportunities as a college student. Here are some great benefits to becoming a morale captain:
Immersing yourself into the culture of dance marathon is a great way to start off your college career, or a new academic year, with a BIG presence on campus

We want to unite a diverse network of students and DePaul community members by giving them one common goal: serving others. This mindset allows us to provide a community of individuals that are passionate about being a part of a cause greater than themselves!
