The past weekend's Luther Dance Marathon was a HUGE success.

The event on Saturday raised money for programs at the University of Iowa's Children's Hospital that serve youth cancer victims and their families.

Last year's event--the first one held--raised $37,000.  This year's fundraising goal was $47,555.  Saturday's event instead brought in $57,103.02.
