Wilson Hall students raised $17,371 for the Prisma Health Children's Hospital by hosting its fifth-annual Dance Mini-Marathon. In partnership with the University of South Carolina Dance Marathon, which raises more than $500,000 every year through the Children's Miracle Network, the money raised will go to support bettering the lives of children at the hospital. Wilson Hall raised a total of $65,796 for the cause during the past five years as the main community service project the school sponsors. Since an actual dance marathon could not be held this year because of COVID-19 safety precautions, the Dance Marathon Committee sponsored a variety of projects and events to raise money. Senior Emily Gray served as the head director, and Liz McCabe was the faculty adviser.
