Purpose and Facts about the Dance
To give our students the opportunity to learn the importance of philanthropy work while benefiting their community. This event also allows students to develop lasting friendships and lifelong memories.
Over the last 7 years the students of DRHS have raise $1.1 Million for 67 local non-profit organizations
We are one of 3 high schools in the country to have a successful Marathon Dance. Only one other school (South High) raises more money than we do!
The journey you are about to embark on will absolutely change your life so give it everything you got!

Volunteers Needed
To comply with HCPS regulations, all volunteers need to fill out a Volunteer/Mentor Form…. EVERY YEAR.
The Form gives permission for a background check of the applicant's name against the sex offender registry. It is for the safety of our students, and no parent may chaperone the dance without this form on file.
Paper forms are available at the table outside or the form can be filled out online, printed, signed, and returned to the Deep Run office ASAP.
A link to the Henrico Volunteer Form is available via the Deep Run PTA web site, under “Volunteers.”
Company Matching Process
• Checks that will be matched by company need to be stapled to the company form and turned in with their money
• Matching gifts will not be counted toward the student’s final total.
