WOMEN’S BB Panthers end the regular season in a win against Evansville, 61-48.

Tangerine orange flooded Maucker Union on Saturday from noon to midnight, as UNI Dance Marathon (UNI DM) hosted their fifth annual Big Event, Dance Marathon 2016. The dancers raised a grand total of $370,248.05 for the kids (FTK), surpassing their goal of $305,000. The money raised will be donated to the Iowa Children’s Miracle Network to benefit “miracle children” and their families. DM is a nationwide movement involving college and high school students at more than 450 schools. More students participate in Miracle Network DM than any other student-led philanthropy in the United States according to DM’s website. Last year, college DMs raised more than $8 million. An executive team of UNI students planned for the Big Event months in advance. Ashley Topping, junior marketing major participated as a morale captain, a student in charge of a “morale team” of students who raise funds to support an individual Miracle family.
