Registration for Raiderthon is $15, which includes three meals, live entertainment and meet and greets with some of the Miracle Network families. Those who cannot attend can still donate on the .

Since 2013, the 91±¬ÁÏ Miracle Makers has raised more than $277,800 for Dayton Children’s Hospital through Raiderthon. For more information, visit wright.edu/event/raiderthon.

Leading up to Raiderthon, 91±¬ÁÏ Miracle Makers fundraise throughout the year to support Dayton Children’s, including on Nov. 7, when student volunteers sold grilled cheese sandwiches at the Forest Lane Community Center. Twenty-four students took orders, made sandwiches and delivered them to hungry students, selling 400 sandwiches and 146 cups of soup. The group collected $600 for their efforts.
