Family Events

Throughout the academic year, we organize many different events that help raise funds for our cause and put smiles on the kids’ faces. Not only do these events help fund pediatric rehabilitation programs, but they are also a fun way for DMUM families and kids to bond with students, forming those relationships and support networks that we often strive for in DMUM. Check out all of our Family Events below!

Note: We are currently adapting all of our events to a virtual format for the upcoming semester to ensure safety and to follow public health guidelines.

Pumpkin Carving

DMUM’s most popular event kicks off with many Halloween inspired games from various therapies and student organizations. Kids can carve a pumpkin, sing karaoke and even walk the red carpet with University of Michigan students. Many families come dressed in costumes and reunite with DMUM friends from the previous year! This event will be held in late October.

PJ Parties

This is definitely by far DMUM’s coziest event of the year! Everyone is encouraged to come in their pajamas for a fun-filled afternoon. Kids will be able to play a bunch of games, paint banners for VictorThon, as well as watch a movie. This event will be held in January or February.

FTK Formal

A family favorite that allows kids of all ages to dance, twirl, and break it down on the dance floor. Families are welcome to strut their stuff in the photo booth, play games and even do the line dance from previous years. This event is held second semester.
