DJ Jay Sims smiling and spinning tunes at Northwestern University's Dance Marathon 2009.

The first week of March is always a busy one for Jay Sims as he prepares for his 14th year as DJ for Northwestern University’s Annual Dance Marathon. The weekend of March 5-7, Jay will be spinning tunes for 30 Hours for over 800 Dancers at his Alma Mater, as students groove to the beat while raising money for StandUp For Kids Charity which helps homeless youth in cities across the United States by providing them basic necessities and support.

DM is one of Northwestern’s largest traditions, dating back to 1975 and involving, in 2009, over 1,000 students. DM dancers get to spend 30 hours dancing, singing, and having fun with fellow Northwestern students, all while helping a great cause. In 2008, these dedicated students raised an all-time fundraising high of $933,855!

Jay and Something 2 Dance 2 are so proud to support this amazing event year after year. To learn more about NUDM or to donate to StandUp For Kids, please visit: www.nudm.org
