MACOMB, IL -- Pancakes ... they're what's for dinner.

On Thursday, Nov. 3, the WIU Dance Marathon will host a pancake supper at the Macomb American Legion, 221 E. Washington St., as part of the organization's year-round effort to raise money for Children's Miracle Network hospitals, St. Louis Children's Hospital and SSM Health Cardinal Glennon. The year-long event culminates April 1, 2017, with the 12-hour Dance Marathon, which honors the 12-hour shifts of doctors and nurses, as well as children who are unable to stand.

The "breakfast for dinner" event, which will be held from 4-8:30 p.m., includes all-you-can-eat pancakes, sausage and orange juice. Tickets are $5 per person in advance and available from any Dance Marathon leadership and executive board member or $7 at the door.

Western's Dance Marathon is entering its fourth year on the WIU campus, with this year's goal set at $100,000. Donations are welcome, and may be made by visiting tinyurl.com/wiudm17 or emailing dancemarathon@wiu.edu. Last year's event raised $70,800.
